        Course content

        Being able to effectively communicate and work with people of cultures other than your own is a critical skill in today’s global environment. Whether you live and work in another country, or interact with colleagues, partners or customers from different countries and backgrounds, intercultural communication skills are essential. People from different cultures not only speak different languages, but they also have different preferences for managing time and activities, planning and working on projects, and interacting with colleagues. Without understanding these differences, miscommunications, misunderstandings, and other challenges to working together often occur.

        During this interactive workshop conducting over 7 sessions, you will learn what culture actually is and how it influences our perceptions, beliefs and behaviors. You will learn key areas where cultural differences can cause miscommunication and other challenges, such as preferences for hierarchy, formality, and time and punctuality. By analyzing examples of situations that have “gone wrong” and discussing other ways the situation could have played out, you will begin to develop the skill of recognizing intercultural problems before they occur. In addition, you will learn the differences between stereotypes and generalizations, where these come from, and what role they serve in intercultural interactions. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will learn a variety of techniques to recognize and bridge communication gaps so that you are able to work effectively with people of any culture or background.

        Learning outcomes

        You learn to be a more interculturally competent communicator and can bridge communication gaps effectively.

        Course content

        Being able to effectively communicate and work with people of cultures other than your own is a critical skill in today’s global environment. Whether you live and work in another country, or interact with colleagues, partners or customers from different countries and backgrounds, intercultural communication skills are essential. People from different cultures not only speak different languages, but they also have different preferences for managing time and activities, planning and working on projects, and interacting with colleagues. Without understanding these differences, miscommunications, misunderstandings, and other challenges to working together often occur.

        During this interactive workshop conducting over 7 sessions, you will learn what culture actually is and how it influences our perceptions, beliefs and behaviors. You will learn key areas where cultural differences can cause miscommunication and other challenges, such as preferences for hierarchy, formality, and time and punctuality. By analyzing examples of situations that have “gone wrong” and discussing other ways the situation could have played out, you will begin to develop the skill of recognizing intercultural problems before they occur. In addition, you will learn the differences between stereotypes and generalizations, where these come from, and what role they serve in intercultural interactions. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you will learn a variety of techniques to recognize and bridge communication gaps so that you are able to work effectively with people of any culture or background.

        Learning outcomes

        You learn to be a more interculturally competent communicator and can bridge communication gaps effectively.
