As part of her research semester, Yasemin Karakaşoğlu accepted the invitation of our cooperation partners Prof. Dr. Akiko Ito and Prof. Dr. Hitoshi Sato from the University of Fukuoka and presented the Bremen model to the members of her research group on the “Importance of diversity in teacher education in international comparison”. The hybrid event, which was attended by colleagues from the USA, New Zealand and Sweden, led to a lively exchange about the different national attributions of meaning to diversity and inclusion. The colleagues are planning a return visit to Bremen in 2025 to further develop a joint research project.You can find the announcement of the lecture HERE
