Improving Your Intercultural Collaboration Skill (online)

Intercultural challenges are becoming a matter of course in daily academic life. Success in an increasingly global environment strongly depends on the individual’s ability to deal with different nationalities, mindsets and ways of working – be it in Germany or abroad.

The 2-day seminar provides you with insights and tools to manoeuver the hidden pitfalls of work across cultures. The result will be a more conscious and better way to deal with the ‘strange‘ or different behavior of superiors, colleagues, employees, peers or students and consciously work with it in daily academic life.
