A.3.13 International Project Work in African-German Student Teams

A collaboration between the University of Münster, Ashesi University, the University of Ghana, the United States International University–Africa, and international organisations and companies

This project offers you the chance to gain practical international experience while working with students from African universities. In mixed African-German teams, you will help organisations and companies in Ghana, Kenya and Germany tackle real-world sustainability challenges. You will contribute your strengths and academic knowledge, and apply and expand your intercultural skills.

For three weeks, you will collaborate online with teammates in Ghana and Kenya to develop ideas, strategies or full solutions. In a final online workshop, the teams will present their results to the participating organisations and companies. By combining diverse perspectives and expertise, we aim for creative, impactful outcomes.

Participation is limited to ten students per university and involves a selection process. High motivation, flexibility and personal commitment are essential to make this international project successful and enjoyable for everyone involved.
