CLIC: Inter-Communication: Intercultural Competence

New

Have you ever struggled with other students’ or colleagues’ styles of communication, wondered why some people seem to use more formal language, or be more direct than others? Culture plays a big part in how we communicate and collaborate, and adjusting to the cultural communication norms is more about shared values and expectations than speaking the same language. It requires a specific set of awareness, attitudes and skills.

In this workshop, you will develop your cultural and self-awareness, reflect on attitudes to adopt and be given some tips on developing the right skills that will help you to develop cultural intelligence.

This is not a webinar. This is an interactive workshop and you will be expected to contribute to the session.

To participate you must have your webcam switched on.

This workshop is aimed towards participants in the field of Engineering.
