A workshop of Kompass-international.
This free event is an introduction to intercultural communication and interaction in the study or work context when people from different cultures collide, tackling compact background knowledge, pitfalls and tips – and lots of practical exercises.
The intercultural training is aimed at international students from all departments at Goethe University Frankfurt who want to deal with intercultural issues in their everyday university and professional life and reflect on their cultural imprint. Various concepts and your own experiences in an intercultural context will be addressed. The aim of the training is to sensitize you with regard to dealing with cultural differences – both in your studies and in your later professional context – and to strengthen your intercultural competence on a cognitive, affective and behavioral level.
You are cordially invited to this exciting confrontation and training experience!
Note: For this intercultural competence training there will be an English translation / summary of the inputs, the group work can also be done in English. German language skills should be on level completed A2.
