The second practice day in the framework of the UniGR-CBS Chair in Border Studies took place on 4 September 2019 in Esch-Belval, jointly organised by Astrid Fellner (Saarland University) and Christian Wille (University of Luxembourg). The participants were university teachers and Master students from the Greater Region.
First, Michael Sohn from the city network Quattropole informed the participants about the daily work and challenges of cross-border work in the Greater Region. Elisabeth Venohr then introduced the participants to the topic of language skills in a multilingual context with an interactive presentation. Finally, an intercultural training with Claudia Heß took place in the afternoon. It was an opportunity to test the participants' intercultural skills and to prepare them for a multicultural working environment.
The second practice day was devoted to the skills required to access the cross-border labor market. The appropriate number of participants made it possible to deal intensively with the question of which competences and knowledge are needed in border regions.
