The purpose of TTT is to foster the professional development of budding teachers/teacher educators and offer them international exposure through collaboration and partnerships.

The participants of the programme will navigate new linguistic and cultural spaces and education systems, which will offer them opportunities to be better prepared to deal with uncertainty. The programme capitalizes on those experiences as a basis for reflection and learning.

The programme is open to all graduate students of the University of Education, Winneba, pursuing programmes in Education. Specific eligibility includes:

About the Programme

The project will enable participants to experience education in intercultural contexts. By exposing future educators to other cultures and encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions, it aims to boost professionalism in teacher training studies.

Specifically, participants get to observe, analyze, and discuss lessons, educational systems, and didactic methods in Ghana, Germany, and North Carolina. These experiences are intended to help them prepare for their work in diverse classrooms.

The project will give participants an opportunity to reflect on their preconceptions about other educational systems and expand their knowledge and skills. They will explore topics and challenges they are likely to encounter in their future career. Participants will also hone their academic skills by participating in a group-based research project.

Successful applicants will be paired with German partners (buddies) with whom they will collaborate on mini-projects. They will also participate in Seminars (September 2021 – April 2022) in preparation for hosting partners from Germany who will spend 4 weeks at UEW in February 2022.

Following this, Ghanaian students in the programme may travel to Hamburg, Germany in the summer of 2021, to parcipate in a cross-cultural exchange programme.
