The basis for this interactive seminar is a business game with group work, which has to be run as a real business with real Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Students from different disciplines and countries work together in intercultural teams to create a business plan and marketing strategy for a fictitious hotel. The teaching units address both theoretical and practical concepts.

By using an Online platform, the course combines virtual and real-life components, in which students demonstrate their strategic thinking, time management, creativity and communication skills. The cooperation with international partners represents an added value of the module and is reflected in the intercultural knowledge transfer of the underlying student teams.

What does Christmas really mean in today’s world? And how has popular music shaped – or reshaped – our understanding of this central Christian festival? In this course, we explore the theology of Christmas through the lens of Christmas pop music. From Mariah Carey (the Queen of Christmas) to John Lennon, we examine how themes of love, hope, and incarnation are transformed and communicated in popular culture.
