In the 21st century skills articles we highlight tutors’ international and intercultural experiences. Leiden University strives to enable students to develop so called "21st century skills" which are defined as "the ability to work in teams, international and intercultural skills, entrepreneurship, leadership qualities and digital competences" Most of the tutors have acquired these skills during their studies, fieldwork for their masters or PhD and are happy to share their impressions and experiences. For this volume we talked to Dr. Georgiana Balau, she teaches Economics, Sociolinguistics and Cultural Interaction. Georgiana did fieldwork during her studies in a familiar country: The Netherlands.
