Mastering the art of intercultural communication – workshop

Target group

This workshop is for researchers, teaching staff, doctoral students and academic leaders at Uppsala University. We encourage research groups to attend together, to foster ongoing discussion of these topics.

Content

This four-hour workshop in English (via Zoom) is designed to help you manage intercultural communication more successfully. We will talk about different cultural values and how these can lead to miscommunication or even conflict when they are not well understood. You will learn about different styles of communication and will be encouraged to examine your own background, assumptions and tendencies. We will also discuss individual variation and how to handle this in the workplace and elsewhere. A special focus is on Swedish culture: how it affects communication, the traps this can create in international contexts, and how to avoid them.
