As part of the German Week, a cultural exchange organized by the International Affairs Department (IAD) took place, welcoming outgoing, incoming, and students who have already completed the German Year. The moderator and organizer, Mr. Azmi Al-Nawayseh (Senior Internship Coordinator), warmly greeted everyone, and gave the participants the opportunity to introduce themselves and share their backgrounds.
The experiences of German exchange students and international students from the German Jordanian University (GJU) were particularly interesting. They shared their experiences and challenges during their studies in their respective countries. To gain even more insight Mu'taz Alnawaiseh, a GJU Logistics Sciences student currently undertaking his Germany Year, was contacted via video call to provide further insights and share his experiences and impressions with the participants.
During the event, the moderator posed questions about language, culture, and society, focusing on the differences between Germany and Jordan. The discussion highlighted how getting to know other cultures enriches us personally and socially. Participants exchanged their thoughts and views, expanding their understanding of the world's diversity. This event broadened their horizon with a greater understanding of different cultures, knowing that such encounters are of great importance for personal and interpersonal development.
By the end of the meeting, group photos were taken, and the exchange continued in a relaxed atmosphere. Such events play an important role in promoting intercultural communication and provide our students with the opportunity to exchange their experiences, fears, and tips, which also provided participants with the opportunity to engage in further personal conversations and establish new connections.
