Artemis is a train-the-trainer-programme for promoters of intercultural learning with the support from the European Commission´s Socrates/Grundtvig 1.

Methods for intercultural learning

• Oral history: Is the history which is told mouth to mouth. Often told by an older relative to a younger one.
• Study Circle: The work is based on the concept of equality among the circle members. The work shall proceed from the member's experiences and knowledge.
• Language Tandem: Both partners exchange information on their language and culture.
• Outdoor pedagogy: Participants shall achieve a closer understanding of nature and culture by playful and emotional experiences.
• Cultural Mediation: "Objects have no authority; people do." Hubbard & Birchler, art installation in O.K-Centre for Contemporary Art in Linz 1993
• IT: Good examples for corporate internet-based work.
