The MILSA mentoring program provides students with the opportunity to develop their intercultural awareness and intercultural learning as students and future professionals. The program is offered twice yearly with a duration of approx. twelve months. It starts in April respectively in October.
The mentoring program provides an immersive intercultural learning experience in an international location. Students' learning is supported by pre-departure and post-sojourn workshops, and by Skype interviews and guided blog writing during the study abroad. The mentor is a staff member of the International Office (not academic staff or other students).
The pre-departure workshop introduces students to explore aspects of intercultural learning and helps them prepare for their experience in a different society and culture.
During the stay abroad, students will talk to the mentor via Skype and write guided blog contributions about their intercultural learning. They stay in contact and complete group task together. Upon their return, students meet with the mentor in a post-sojourn workshop to discuss and reflect upon their experiences and the importance of their intercultural learning for their future professional lives.
The subject includes content on notions of culture, interculturality, intercultural learning,
stereotypes, identities, cultural practices, and reflection and reflective writing.
The First Steps in Intercultural Learning Workshop is held before students depart. This workshop provides essential content, discussion and activities to prepare students for their intercultural learning, international experience and to guide their completion of assessment tasks.
The Coming Home Workshop takes place after students return from their stay abroad and allows them to reflect on their experience, particularly their intercultural learning and its
application to their future professional lives. Students also present their group assignment.

• What is real, what is fake news? Whether in business, management, society, or politics, it seems more and more difficult to distinguish between real and fake news. Since it has become so easy to share information, stories, and personal thoughts on a massive scale through the internet and social media, critical thinking has become more important than ever. Critical thinking allows us not only to recognize fake news, but also to make the right decisions and great choices in an increasingly complex world, and successfully manage constant change and transformation.
• Creativity and innovation as essential pillars of entrepreneurial and leadership competence are fundamental for successfully starting a business, securing its competitiveness, leading a team or organization, and communicating in a convincing and winning way. However, in times of constant acceleration of our daily routines, it has become more and more difficult to carve out time for truly creative and innovative processes.
