Abstract
The chapters in this volume fully illustrate that “culture is not taught in a vacuum or learned in isolation” (Kirkebæk, Du & Jensen, chapter 1 this volume). The teaching and learning of culture may be influenced by many factors both inside and outside the classroom. Meanwhile, culture influences the context and may be considered either a threat or an opportunity.
