Summer School 2024 in Trondheim – we are ready!

The current MOTIVATE! year is coming to an end, but the prospects are good: our second international Summer School specifically for student teachers will take place from September 2-6, 2024! after last year’s Summer School in Berlin, this year’s will take place at NTNU in Trondheim.

A total of 15 students from TU Berlin will be traveling to Trondheim, including the current MOTIVATE! students. We will spend a week exploring the topic of “21st century skills in education”. With an exciting program we want to find out: What does school and education look like in the 21st century? What has changed since we attended school ourselves? What kind of world do our students live in and what challenges does this place on schools and on us as teachers? What skills do we need? How do we get them and what opportunities does the future hold for us and our future classroom?

We are super excited and looking forward to our international Summer School 2024!

"In a diverse world, my thoughts should also be diverse, and I have only achieved this by exchanging ideas with people whose thoughts and experiences enrich me. Through the exchange at MOTIVATE! I have come up with completely new thoughts and developed new ideas for myself as a future teacher and also as a person. Celebrating the now of education and having courage and visions for the later is what I have found for myself this year."

Student at TU Berlin and former MOTIVATE! student

"MOTIVATE! is a great opportunity if you want to think outside the box as a teacher student. You get to know facets of the teaching profession together with international students, make contacts and form friendships. It really is a good first step if you want to engage with education internationally!"

Jelle Oellrich

Student at TU Berlin, former MOTIVATE! student and exchange student at NTNU

"In any case, it is very valuable to get to know a different culture of teaching. The interaction with lecturers and students in Norway is more on an equal footing, so you get the impression that you are working on something together instead of just solving an impersonal task to generate points. A personal project is created."

Dag-Maximilian Dannehl

Student at TU Berlin and former exchange student at NTNU

"MOTIVATE! provides students with distinct benefits as they develop acceptance for cultural diversity, self-confidence, initiative and curiosity through cross-cultural learning."

Katrine Dalbu Alterhaug

Head of Internationalization at the Teacher Department at NTNU

"Move it again, MOTIVATE! and lets be creative and constructive with all we learned during the pandemic…"

Prof. Markus Cslovjecsek

Project Coordinator at PH FHNW

"MOTIVATE! enables students to freely exchange thoughts and ideas on relevant topics while also gaining important intercultural skills and knowledge."

Student and staffmember of MOVE IT! at TU Berlin

“In the world today, schools can only succeed with an international approach: the diversity of pupils in Berlin and elsewhere, the social and technological challenges of the future, all this is globally and locally connected and we need a reflexive, well-informed and open-minded view across any borders.”

Prof. Dr. Susann Fegter

Director of the School of Education SETUB
