Cultures at Work (E)
Monday 20 June 2022 (19:00 – 21:30 hours)
As a global professional, we must be able to act effectively and appropriately in today's connected world, and in doing so, developing self-awareness of our own cultural lenses is crucial. This is only possible when we encounter "the other"; only then do we become acutely aware of our assumptions and blind spots when our interaction with cultural "others" surprises or sometimes frustrates us.
In this workshop we will consider what competences you need for a successful intercultural interaction, which are often complex and unclear. By playing the Barnga game you will experience how you react to unpredictable and unclear situations; something global professionals often have to deal with. Then, based on the cultural scales developed by Erin Meyer, you will reflect on your own actions in a number of professional situations and find out which strategies are effective to deal with differences.
During the training you will learn:
- What intercultural communication is;
- What Erin Meyer's cultural scales mean;
- And how you can use them in your practice;
