Workshop: Intercultural Training

Workshop: Intercultural Training (How to Cope with German Culture and Succeed in International Contexts)

Do you know the situation? You have done everything properly and even so your German Professor seems harsh and unfriendly. That is confusing and unsettling.

In a foreign culture something always goes wrong when you least expect it to.

It is difficult to interact as smoothly as in the culture you grew up in and so misunderstandings are inevitable.

This workshop will provide insight into how we are formed by our own culture and it will offer some help how to cope with German culture if you come from a different cultural background.
