Creating intercultural understanding with Csilla Ducrocq - Episode 17

Hello and welcome to another episode of Grow: A podcast from Cambridge. Today we are back in France, with host Luísa Geão speaking to Csilla Ducrocq, a Professor at Université Paris-Saclay.

Csilla’s story is one of resilience, creativity and the impact of human connection in education. She has transformed her multicultural experiences into innovative teaching methods including her “crazy science” activities that make language learning engaging and memorable.

And whilst she does embrace digital tools, Csilla emphasises that meaningful education happens through emotional connections between teachers and students, with AI serving as an enhancement rather than replacement for human interaction.

In this episode of Grow, you will:

Be inspired to think differently about education and cultural understanding.
Discover how giving educators the autonomy to design their own programs can lead to breakthrough teaching methods.
Learn the impact of connecting students across borders.
Hear heartfelt words Csilla’s students wrote about how her classes opened their horizons.

You’ll also hear from ELT Author and Trainer, Jeremy Harmer with a top tip.
