Project Description: 

The DAAD-funded project Transnational Service Learning in the Context of Higher Education (THE) is a collaboration between the School of Applied Humanities and Social Sciences at the German Jordanian University (GJU), Jordan, and the Faculty of Education at the Universität Hamburg (UHH), Germany.

Participants of each university (students, scientific assistants, and professors) reflect on possibilities of inclusion in the context of migration, flight, and disability and focus on the technique of service learning during two 10-day stays in Amman and Hamburg and framing digitally held seminars. The project started in March 2023 and was completed in December 2023 with the publication of a joint booklet. THE aimed to deepen transcultural cooperation between the two universities and to initiate cooperation with NGOs working in the field of inclusion.

This project is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) using funds from the German Federal Foreign Office (AA).
