1) Register now for the 2-days workshop on intercultural communication on February 20 (9am - 6pm) + 21 (9am - 5pm), 2020
Working in international teams requires intercultural competence, awareness and solution finding in possible conflict situations. During the two days, students are given the opportunity to develop their intercultural competence, a skills set which becomes ever more useful for all professional activities and which is thus looked for by prospective employers. As the seminar is held in English, you will also improve your English language proficiency. Therefore, you should bring a basic knowledge of English so as to be able to participate in discussions and group activities.
The workshop is free of charge and targets German and international students who wish to embark upon a study abroad period, who are active in international student organizations, or who would simply like to improve their communication and intercultural skills.
The workshop is held by Alexia Petersen, a Canadian with multicultural background who has lived in Aachen for many years. Ms. Petersen is a highly experienced trainer and consultant in intercultural communication, working with various target groups in both universities and research institutions, and international companies.
