„As part of the #BaselIncubator program we are happy to be part of Impact Hub Basel!„
Backpack2school supports the following Sustainable Development Goals:
- SDG 4 — Quality Education
- SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 17 — Partnerships for the Goals
„Well-trained and highly motivated teachers are the backbone of any education systems. The increasing cultural heterogeneity in Switzerland has changed the requirements for today’s teachers. The prospective teachers require strong intercultural competences to meet those requirements. According to studies, intercultural competences are ideally developed abroad. However, the current statistics of student mobility show that only 4% of students of pedagogy are taking part in an international mobility program. One of the reasons for the low participation is that the current mobility programs offered at the universities are not tailored to the needs of prospective teachers.„
