# **On The Move - Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters**
> Together with the University of Stuttgart we are taking on the new English Abitur Schwerpunkt On the Move – Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters with a series of events that examine the American short stories from different perspectives. We kicked off our series in 2023 with online talks which are still available to watch on our YouTube channel [@DAZStuttgart](https://www.youtube.com/@dazstuttgart/featured). This fall we want to discuss another interesting aspect to help you introduce the topic in the classroom.

The presentation explores key topics such as interactivity, digital text production, generative AI, and instant feedback, and offers reflections on the opportunities and challenges of using digital tools in literature education. This event was part of a series focusing on the new English Abitur Schwerpunkt, "On the Move - Migration and Cross-Cultural Encounters," where we examine short stories by American authors from multiple perspectives. The series, launched in fall 2023 in collaboration with the University of Stuttgart, features contributions from experts in American literary and cultural studies, as well as recent developments in English language education. The online talks from this series are still available on our YouTube channel @DAZStuttgart.
