Intercultural training by the Maastricht Young Academy - 1 December

-

The Maastricht Young Academy is organising an intercultural training that is designed for individuals who want to become familiar with how cultural norms can determine behaviour and interactions with colleagues and students. 

Anyone working with people from different cultural backgrounds will notice that they have particular preferences when it comes styles of communication, time keeping, giving negative feedback, and hierarchy. 

This training is suitable for anyone working in a (international) team and for tutors/teachers that interact with international students.  The training will explore these differences as well as help participants navigate around different cultural styles in order to facilitate harmonious interaction and smoother productivity.”

You can sign up for the training on 1 December from 9:30 -12:30. 

Nava Hinrichs-Pasutto will be facilitating the training.
Max 20 people can participate per training.
