Cultural Awareness

“Cultural Awareness” – intercultural management training course for skilled workers and executives

This general intercultural course aims to raise general awareness of cultural patterns of behaviour and communication.

This training intends to significantly minimise misunderstandings right from the start and to prevent blunders in an international environment.

Target groups & Languages:

The training course is intended for skilled workers and executives in Germany who work with business partners and colleagues from different cultural backgrounds.

The medium of instruction is either German or English.

Learning objectives:

The focus is on general cultural awareness. The participants will be prepared for:

- Culture-specific patterns of communication and behaviour
- Collaboration and communication in different cultures (a tailor-made course with a focus on just one specific culture is also possible on request)
- “Blunders” and how to prevent them
- Handling possible cultural conflicts (conflict management)
- Opportunities and synergy effects which arise from cultural diversity and how to benefit from them

Additionally, the training course will provide basic knowledge about cultural concepts and models. It will help you explore your own “culturally-tinted glasses” and give you an expanded awareness of your own as well as foreign cultural behaviour, which will focus your attention on synergy potential. Moreover, you will receive relevant recommendations on negotiation strategies. By recreating so called ‘critical incidents’ and real life experiences through role-plays and simulation games, you will gain tangible and lasting insights, which will be of great use in your everyday work life.
