All other participants must pay the course fee Intercultural communication - Diversity in people In this interactive workshop, we will be exploring what culture and intercultural communication means to you and celebrate diversity in teams! Cultural backpack We each carry different elements of our culture with us wherever we go, like a cultural backpack. The University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is a very interesting multicultural workplace. Some people experience they work in a very Danish setting surrounded by typical Danish values, while others describe working at UCPH as an extremely international working environment, with a mixture of international principles and guidelines, with English as the main language. Most people at UCPH encounter this as an interesting, but sometimes challenging experience in terms of navigating and communicating with each other in a multicultural workplace. Should I use Danish or English? How to deal with a PhD supervisor who comes from another culture? Should I mail, phone, or visit to get my message across? Can or should I give feedback and how to do that? However, better understanding, appreciating, and accommodating diversity as well as individual differences in communication style, can enhance the effectiveness of your (intercultural) professional interactions. At the workshop, we hope to inspire you on how you can optimize your intercultural communication skills and apply simple tools to add into your cultural backpack!
