You can expect an amazing diversity in the student cohort you are working with. Not seldom would there be 20+ different nationalities represented in the classroom, and even more when you consider students’ workplaces.<\/p>\n

This diversity can be truly enriching in the classroom, adding a multitude of perspectives; it may also be challenging as work and communication styles, attitudes and values etc. may differ considerable.<\/p>\n

You may thus find it helpful to actively address this diversity in your introduction, within classroom discussion, when commenting on student work, creating groups etc.<\/p>\n

While students know each other well and the usual introduction rounds are not needed, you may want to think about how to start your course incorporating the different\/diverse perspectives and backgrounds in a creative way. Check out our toolbox<\/a><\/span> for different class openings.<\/p>\n

WU Vienna has a strong commitment to Diversity & Inclusion in the classroom and beyond, here you find some additional resources to support respectful actions:<\/p>\n
