Kulturanthropologie

Semester 2 · 82010 · Universitärer Lehrgang für die Grundausbildung der Lehrpersonen für die Mittel- und Oberschule in italienischer Sprache - 60KP · 1KP · IT

The course provides the basis for an anthropological understanding of the concepts of culture, cultural relativism, ethnocentrism and interculturality in order to approach cultural diversity by applying a decentralised view. The aim is to offer teachers the conceptual tools to foster in pupils: the ability to deal with differences, be they cultural, religious, linguistic and/or gender differences; to value the diversity of worldviews, forms of life and subjectivities. The course also offers critical reflection on educational approaches.
