Title of the Lecture:

Mobility and Cross-Cultural Understanding

Abstract:

University of Tehran (UT) has a rich experience in its exchange programs and this has enabled UT to give a new vision to people of both host and home countries. This lecture will focus on mobility and cross cultural understanding with a view on UT’s status. The mobility is taking place from UT and to UT. We face a number of challenges in this internationalization phase that is a continuing process during which we have to safeguard our traditional national education system in a globalization atmosphere of this current age. It is inevitable that people from diverse cultures would meet, may blend together or might get into a conflict of ideas or emotions. How do we view the incoming population from abroad and what do we expect of them and of ourselves and what is it that might or should we suspect that is expected from us? The lecture would stress our view of humanity in general and how that would help us achieve an anchor to balance the seeming rocking atmosphere of our university with.
