We invite international employees and PhD candidates to take part in our workshop dedicated to intercultural communication and cultural adaptation at the UW on 5 December.
During the workshop you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of the academic culture at the UW — including its core values, norms and expectations;
- Explore diverse communication styles and learn how cultural backgrounds shape the way we speak, collaborate and interpret messages from others;
- Analyse common misunderstandings that can arise in a multicultural academic environment — and discover ways to navigate them;
- Reflect on real-life experiences and exchange thoughts with other participants;
- Take away practical tools and proven strategies for communicating effectively within the UW community.
