Kursbeschreibung:

Planning an international career? This workshop equips you with the communication and teamwork skills needed in international settings. Your expertise is essential, but succeeding across cultures requires adaptability, cultural insight, and strong collaboration skills. Moving beyond basic job-hunting, we focus on intercultural communication through engaging, hands-on experiences. The sessions are insightful and dynamic: you will discover your strengths, navigate cultural challenges, and gain new perspectives. Guided by an experienced team of lecturers, you will develop practical skills for effective intercultural collaboration. You will learn how to: • Decode intercultural communication – shift from quick judgments to precise, context-aware understanding. • Navigate global team dynamics – integrate multiple perspectives to avoid common pitfalls and co-create inclusive strategies. • Act with confidence – recognize non-verbal cues to build trust and professional credibility.
