Sebastian Van Hoeck - Intercultural trainer at the University Centre for Development Cooperation.

Sebastian Van Hoeck works as an intercultural trainer for the University Centre for Developement Cooperation (UCOS). This NGO wants to stimulate students to be global conscience and  take up active global citizenship. In this session, Sebastian will elaborate on the ethical considerations one needs to be aware of when doing an internship in the Global South. What is the impact of color?
