Background
Today’s working world has become diverse in terms of colleagues and clients. Although quite exciting, interaction in increasingly diverse environments can also be quite challenging in terms of working style, differing values and attitudes towards, and communication in a lingua franca that is not one’s own language.
In this 32 hour workshop seminar, the opportunity to engage in activities aimed at sensitizing participants to these challenges will be offered.
Seminar aims
This is an experiential learning seminar, which allows students to reflect on various behaviors that result from intercultural communication. Instead of a lecture style class, students will be called on to interact in mini-role plays, discussions and project work.
The aims are as follows:
Methods
Discussions, role plays, simulations of work related situations, interactive learning in small groups, informal presenting of learned content.
Final Project
Groups should plan a team building event for a diverse group of people who will work/study/travel together. The main objective is to create a positive interactional environment for people.
