Education for global citizenship involves awareness raising, knowledge and activities which aim to equip all participants with the skills and understanding to take responsibility, value diversity and play an active part in European democratic life today.
To this end, the GET Support Team at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz organises Global Outreach (GO) for students enrolled in Scottish, Irish and German universities.This consists of projects of two or four weeks (in a team) in Rhineland-Palatinate for students from our Scottish partner universities.
These GO projects fulfill the part of LPlus Local in the curriculum of LPlus students.
2023 GO Summer School
In 2023 LPlus local includes a week of interdisciplinary academic talks at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and a week-long trip to a hut in the Pfälzerwald nature reserve. During this time students will have the chance to work on creative projects based on Nan Sheperds “The Living Mountain” together with other Scottish, Irish and German students.
Please note that we have several long hikes planned, as parts of the nature reserve are only accessible by foot! If you are unable to walk long distances, please let us know beforehand via email. The projects main language will be English, but you will have the chance to speak German as well.
The results of this years summer school will be posted here soon.
