Workshop description

This practical training is designed for UM staff only and is suitable for anyone working in a (international) team and for tutors/teachers that interact with international 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. 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
