Cross-cultural communication

Taught in English, this M2 Cross-Cultural Communication class is a counterpart to the M1 Cross[1]Cultural Strategies class. For those students who have not taken the Strategies class (which is not mandatory), we will give a brief overview of different ways in which culture might be defined and how it can shape us as individuals and influence workplace dynamics. Then, through extensive discussions, role plays and negotiations, students will gain hands-on experience identifing cultural stereotypes in action that can facilitate and/or hamper their own communication within professional teams. Students will acquire additional practical tools, techniques and, above all, pratice in better understanding and navigating the complexity of multi-cultural teams in the workplace.

A B2/C1 level in English ; a multi-cultural background and/or a strong interest in multi-cultural interaction.
