Intercultural training

Collaboration among colleagues from different countries can often involve misunderstandings and conflicts. In many cases, these problems are simply cultural and become avoidable if colleagues familiarise with each other’s cultural background and the nature of intercultural communication.

Participants of our Intercultural training will

• learn to recognise and handle intercultural conflicts,
• understand their own cultural profile and the tendencies, behaviours characterising other cultures,
• formulate solutions to intercultural conflict by discovering values behind stereotypes,
• develop more effective cooperation skills through the above and tension due to communication problems will decrease significantly.
