JULY 30, 2024 — Last week, a group of UTSA students had the once-in-a-lifetime experiential learning opportunity to travel to Darmstadt, Germany, to participate in a series of discussions on global order and contemporary issues in world politics with university, city and consulate representatives from Germany and San Antonio. The Technical University of Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt), one of UTSA’s strategic global partners, hosted the event.
The experience was part of a study abroad program led by Matthias Hofferberth, UTSA professor of political science and geography, in partnership with Markus Lederer, TU Darmstadt professor of political science. The program, which took place from Thursday, July 18, through Saturday, July 27, offered 10 UTSA global affairs students a chance to be part of an intercultural classroom with 10 TU Darmstadt students.
The participants studied and discussed questions of global order, which refers to the structure and organization of the international system, including the rules, norms and institutions that govern relations between states and shape global politics.
