Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is a cooperation with the International Business Centre, AAU. It is based around tasks in developing and organising series of public seminars with Foreign Embassies in Denmark, Danish Embassies abroad, Foreign Firms in Denmark, Danish firms overseas and Danish Trade Missions. This allows students to gain 10-12 weeks of valuable planning, communication, negotiation, organising, and promotional work experience associated with highlighting key issues in developing global business and institutional linkages.

The purpose of this module is to allow the student to acquire practical experience through planning and organising public events by bringing their knowledge, skills and competencies, as well as their cultural communication skills into play. Based on these, the student will explicate the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired during the cooperation. Supervisors will be assigned to support the student.
