The 3rd annual international conference of the seminar "English for International Conferences" took place at Dresden University of Technology on June 14th. Having decided upon the heading "Quo Vadis, Society", students discussed current issues of modern society.
Professor Charles Harker, from the faculty of architecture at Kent State University, opened the conference with his view on the relation of mankind and architecture. Having researched into the impact of the shape of objects on psychological aspects, he has created buildings by using nature as the basis of construction.
Participants of the seminar presented on the following topics: "Intercultural Competence and Communication", "Social and Moral Values", "Education", "The Role of Media" and "Political and Economic Aspects of Globalization".
Subsequently, discussions were held regarding social, political, and economic developments of our society. As a result, this conference stimulated the audience's critical perception and consideration of changes within our civilization.
With the kind support of "Gesellschaft von Freunden und Förderern der TUD e.V." and various others sponsors, a successful conference was realized and hopefully will be in following semesters.
