| Title: | Intercultural Practices for Micropropagation of Horticultural Crops |
|---|---|
| Project Description: | Micropropagation of Horticultural Crops is a course that addresses the principles and practices of micropropagation, including concepts and techniques and how micropropagation plays an important role in plant breeding and crop production. The objective this project is to expose students to cultural practices related to micropropagation that are specific to each country, including the crops that are more relevant to each culture (USA vs. Brazil) and that require advanced propagation techniques, as well as to explore how cultural differences affect procedures and goals. |
| Learning Outcomes: |
Outcomes included self-awareness and cultural diversity, a strong interest in learning more about Brazilian culture, active interaction with students in Brazil by asking questions and having open discussions, a better understanding of the cultural differences as well as differences in teaching style and facilities. |
