ABSTRACT
This chapter presents, problematises, and discusses the characteristics and influences of a two-week summer course entitled introducing and exploring intercultural relations in everyday life, which the authors organised in Finland. The course introduced and explored intercultural relations in daily life and proposed to change the way their architectonics are often dealt with, by moving beyond certain 'faulty' and problematic assumptions towards a richer, and what the authors consider to be a more realistic, understanding of the word 'intercultural'. Finally, the chapter insist on offering courses or some other training in critical interculturality for both outgoing and incoming exchange students as well as local and international degree students. Despite the popularity of study abroad programmes and the influx of international students on university campuses in recent years, still surprisingly few students have courses on interculturality in their curriculum, and even fewer have the possibility to learn about critical viewpoints related to interculturality during their studies.
