Intercultural Communication & Competence

Understand and compare foreign cultures - develop communication strategies!

Whoever deals with people from other cultures wants to understand them. Our introductory course offers a compact overview of the most important topics in intercultural communication and provides you with initial strategies for action in dialog across cultural boundaries.

Communicating with people from unfamiliar cultural backgrounds is not always easy: expectations are disappointed, conflicts of values are felt, frustration is experienced. Sometimes it seems as if people are talking past each other. This is precisely why a self-confident and at the same time empathetic approach to the other person is so important.

After our introductory course, you will know how culture influences our thoughts, feelings and actions. You will be able to understand and compare your own and other people's thought patterns. This equips you to develop strategies for intercultural interaction.

Dealing with the foreign and unknown
Cultures and cultural perception
Stereotypes and their influence on our cultural perception
