Mexico City, August 15, 2024.- Students from the Universidad Abierta 's Philosophy and Pedagogy programs at Universidad Panamericana online, had the opportunity to travel to London to take a course in general semantics at the October Gallery .
Importance of international experiences
International experiences allow university students to develop intercultural skills, improve their professional profile, expand their network of contacts, and strengthen their language skills.
In addition, they foster personal growth, adaptability and provide a global perspective, thus preparing students to face challenges with confidence and resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.
"It is a very formative experience, both academically and personally, I recommend it 100%", says Enrique Hernandez Laos Crump, online philosophy student at Panamericana about his experience.
Interdisciplinary approach
The subject that the students studied was interdisciplinary and had to do with language, semiotics, signs, education and philosophy. "My overall experience was very good, the syllabus was attractive, the speakers were of a very good level, the sessions and dynamics were agile and interesting, the international colleagues always had an enriching opinion and point of view", Enrique declares.
In Enrique's opinion, the advantages offered by the interdisciplinary approach of the course allowed him and his classmates to realize that the philosophical topics they study and the questions they address are universal for both teachers and students.
On the other hand, he says that this experience also allowed them to listen to the experiences of international professors and students from different professions and disciplines, which broadened their vision of the world.
When speaking of skills or competencies developed from the course, Enrique states that he has learned "to listen more, to use more of his senses, to slow down his response, to become aware of his own mental map and understand that of others, to be more aware of how we speak and how others speak".
