The course
Global companies today need culturally competent people able to deal with dynamic, multifaceted contexts. However, stakeholders are also demanding more social responsibility, leading to the need for thoughtful, long-term, and conscientious decision-makers. This certificate meets both of these requirements by offering you training that combines cultural theory with good management practices. This course is conducted in English (level B2 required).
In the course, we will discuss principles of intercultural interaction from different perspectives, as well as the major research trends in the field. We will address specific problem-solving skills that you need in your own workplace, and we will provide you with specially designed practice in solving intercultural issues. The format of the course includes expert feedback and extensive discussion opportunities for an individually-tailored approach.
Target group
Do you want to dramatically improve your intercultural communication? In this course, you will develop a strong awareness of different cultural perspectives and values, and how these are communicated in everyday interactions. You will better understand your own cultural background and its influence on your success with others.
