Intercultural Training for Internationals

‍

Moving to a new country with its own culture is not always easy, especially when all habits, customs, and traditions seem strange to you. You might even be experiencing a bit of a culture shock due to jumping into a completely new culture and way of life. We always consider the practical and social aspects of settling into a new country, but hardly ever think of the cultural changes that we will be experiencing.

As a solution, Welcome2Upper Austria offers “Cultural Fit Seminars” available to all international talents living in Upper Austria. There, you will be given the opportunity to understand and reflect upon your own culture and the Austrian one. This will help you to comprehend differences and possible topics of conflict including thinking of solutions to solve conflict and accepting each other’s differences. You will also learn more about Austrian culture, its central values, and behaviors, and as a result, find it easier to communicate and interact with colleagues. The aim is to enhance your communication skills and personal achievement, while simultaneously reducing your fears in regard to intercultural situations.

All seminars will be held in English. You can expect presentations, practice examples, case studies, group work, discussions and reflections, self-tests, and an exchange with the international community and other participants.

Duration: 3 evenings with 1 ½ h of content per evening and networking possibility after the course.
