Workshop: intercultural competence – the soft skill for international work

In the future, contact and cooperation between Western people and those from regions with a different cultural background will increase enormously. The participants of this workshop will realize that our Western values and convictions are relative and not universal. We will disenchant the myth of a global village. We will show you the dangers of the belief in a one-world-culture through many practical examples. There will be suggestions and solutions to develop intercultural competence. Also, new opportunities for your personal development are shown.

Target audience:
Employees in international business, executive development.
