I received an email in Danish from Susan Nyrop and I was able to read it. It had a link to Absolutely Intercultural a new site with weekly podcasts:
"We’ll be releasing a new episode every second Friday evening, looking at all intercultural aspects of human intercultural communication. For example, we’ll be hearing from students on foreign work placements, looking at intercultural aspects of the forthcoming World Cup, asking how teachers can make use of intercultural exercises and simulations in their classroom and sharing with you any intercultural gossip we come across. ‘absolutely intercultural!’ won’t be so much about passing on information but more about starting an intercultural dialogue between the makers, and you, the contributors and listeners."
I listened to the second podcast which was done like a radio show with a gossip column at the end. It talked about two projects- one on how to teach culture in adult education. Stressing the point that you have to experience it. Another project talked about the development of a magazine on the city of Leon. Unfortunately, the interviews don't go very deep into the intercultural experiences, but it is fun to hear all the accents!
In my blog I share about learning design with technology, blended learning & knowmad learning. I started with a focus on communities of practice. I share personal experiences, articles and cases.

Dear Joitske,
I put you on our mail list for the Nordiske Stemme newsletter because I thought you might be interested; after all some of the messages though not all of them, are translated into English. And, as you see, the intercultural Podcast caught your attention, and your blogging about it must have pinged somewhere in Karsten's feed system. This is another way of staying in touch, community wise in the periphery but still with a potential awareness...
Just like you can read some Danish, I'm able to get some meaning out of a text inDutch; after allour two small languages do have much in common:-)
Hi Sus, I actually thought you'd sent it by mistake, but thanks!
