This year's winter school of the DAAD project Lehramt.International will take place on three different days in three different countries. Thanks to its hybrid format, many student teachers will be able to participate.

The Winter School addresses diversity in teacher education through the concept of critical competencies, i.e. the ability to understand the dynamics of (re)production of e.g. linguistic, cultural, gender or socio-economic differences in the classroom and beyond.
