Workshop: Intercultural Training for International Students - Cultural Diversity and Transcultural Communication

As an international student, you may find yourself in an environment that may be unfamiliar and sometimes alienating to you: People behave differently from you are used to, misunderstandings and irritations occur that are difficult to interpret, contact and relationships run according to unfamiliar hidden rules and dynamics, and your own goals are not so easily achieved as usual. This makes life in a new environment sometimes interesting and instructive, but often also exhausting and stressful. This transcultural training is intended to help you understand cultural differences and further develop transcultural skills to make everyday life in Germany successful and even more pleasant.

What you are going to experience:

- Share cultural stories: Share personal experiences and reflect on critical intercultural incidents.
- Discover our diversity: Experience how different the cultural backgrounds are in our group and find common ground.
- Perception and bias: Recognize how our behavior, judgments, and stereotypes develop—and how they can influence conflict.
- Understanding values and norms: Explore cultural values and their significance for your own thoughts and actions.
- Practical exercises: Train communication techniques and conflict resolution strategies for intercultural situations.
- Develop new thinking: Learn how transcultural learning helps you find innovative solutions to challenges.
