In the final block of the interview, the tutors were asked what kind of activities they use to develop their students’ global competence. The activity type three of them mentioned (F, I, M) was debates: they intentionally bring in controversial issues for their groups to debate either in pairs, groups, or as whole-class activities. The other emerging category was experiential learning activities, specifically mentioned by Ulrich and Ingrid. As Ulrich put it, his aim is to “reach a deeper level of engagement” with these activities, so he deliberately chooses material that has “the potential to strike deep” (T/FG-TT-17), such as engaging TED videos or personal identity cards. Ingrid added that she loves using role plays, drama activities and simulations too, as they also have the potential to generate engagement from the students. Two tutors, Marcella and Fred mentioned that they heavily rely on the students to bring in content and activities to their classes (either discussion topics, controversial statements, or articles), and Marcella believes that she has to set the tone first showing them what kind of content she is expecting (e.g., more serious films, podcasts, talks).

When asked to share one activity with the aim of developing students’ global competence which gave them a sense of achievement, the tutors had a hard time to only choose one. According to Ulrich, the activities with which he usually feels success are in connection with building empathy. He shared the example of a video about the transformation of a homeless veteran, which had a great impact on his students and sparked off a discussion about first impressions and a person’s past and their potentials. Both Ingrid and Marcella shared a variation on an opinion line activity. In Marcella’s class, the students were given different sources of stress (e.g., exams at the university, online teaching, loss of biodiversity, climate change, plastic pollution) and by talking to each other they had to organise these factors from the least stressful to the most stressful. She destined it to her group as an awareness-raising activity and she was impressed by the impact and the students’ answers. Ingrid also mentioned that opinion line activities are one of her favourite ones, but the activity she shared was a mingling activity, in which the students had to play around and trade with different value cards. Finally, Fred said that he really enjoys the professional presentations his students give in pairs.
