Intercultural competence and communication

On the way to global citizenship

How to negotiate with the Japanese or Germans? What to give as a gift to a Chinese business partner? What competitive advantages does a company gain from understanding cultural diversity? How can we grow into global citizenship and thus contribute to sustainable development?

Courses related to intercultural communication and multiculturalism open the door to foreign cultures from many different perspectives. You will learn to understand your own culture as well as the differences between people from various other cultures. You get to know about values, communication styles and working life habits. All this will prepare you to work successfully with international colleagues and partners in the future.

You can study intercultural communication in multicultural teams in English both online and in class. The approach is often functional: you may complete the course, for example by participating in a charity project.

Intercultural competence is as important as literacy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
