Intercultural training for general preparation

Our intercultural training courses aim to support companies and organizations in overcoming practical challenges in intercultural business relationships and international teamwork.

The training promotes the general intercultural competence and cultural sensitivity of the participants and therefore also serves as preparation for an assignment abroad, e.g. as an expatriate. In addition to relevant communication basics, the intercultural workshop primarily increases understanding of intercultural communication barriers. Using various exercises, we show new perspectives that help participants to reflect on their own cultural imprint and to better understand and assess alternative perspectives of other cultures.

In addition to teaching the relevant basics of intercultural communication and cooperation, it is particularly important to us to address the individual needs of your organization, company or team. To this end, we also offer customized intercultural workshops. Our experience shows that this enables us to address specific problems in an even more targeted manner.

Read more about the importance of intercultural competence in various job profiles and positions here. We are personally there for you in the following cities, among others: Munich, Nuremberg.

Intercultural leadership of international teams

A certain level of intercultural competence is essential in many management positions. Among other things, it plays an important role in managing teams of different nationalities and countries of origin, in international projects or in management positions with international business relationships. Learn about different communication styles and cultural influences in intercultural training and develop a leadership style that suits you and the respective intercultural setting.

Project management in an international context

Teams are increasingly working together across the globe and via different channels from different locations. While online communication is becoming increasingly cost-effective and simple, the lack of personal contact often leads to new challenges in collaboration. As a project manager or project employee, a number of stumbling blocks can be cleared out of the way if you not only have a high level of intercultural competence, but also expertise in intercultural project management. Intercultural training prepares you to approach and implement international projects competently.

Intercultural pedagogy

The world is becoming increasingly diverse – which means that people from different cultures and backgrounds are coming together more and more frequently. Intercultural education is concerned with how education and upbringing can respond to this diversity and build bridges between cultures. The intercultural training prepares you with various exercises on how you can better integrate the topic into your everyday school life.

Preparation for the assignment abroad

Are you orientating yourself professionally abroad? Whether on your own initiative or as an expatriate of an international company – familiarising yourself with the cultural influences beforehand can make it much easier for you to get started or to deal with difficult intercultural situations in your professional and everyday life. We will prepare you for this exciting time and give you helpful insights into practical examples and approaches.

Intercultural training for companies

In internationally operating companies, employees are expected to have intercultural competence. But what exactly does intercultural competence mean and how can good intercultural cooperation be established in a company? In our intercultural training courses, we teach important basics and address your individual topics and questions. Get in touch with us without obligation.

Frequently asked questions & answers about intercultural training

What are the requirements for taking part in intercultural training?

No special previous knowledge or experience is required. Openness and interest in the topic are desirable.

How long does intercultural training take?

Intercultural training usually lasts half a day to two days. The duration is agreed individually with you, depending on the desired content.

How can intercultural training contribute to better communication in different intercultural situations with different countries?

One approach can be the teaching of an intercultural communication style that combines the special features of different cultures and thus offers guidance for successful communication in rapidly changing cultural contexts. In addition, we would like to raise awareness of one’s own culturally influenced thinking and behaviour and make it clear that culture is not a question of origin, but the result of culturally transmitted values and development impulses gained through life experience. Our aim here is for the training participants to reflect on their own thinking, behaviour and communication and to develop cultural sensitivity so that they can react consciously and flexibly to different cultural contexts in their day-to-day work.

What is intercultural training?

Intercultural training is a course or workshop that aims to prepare people to interact with people from different cultures and to improve their intercultural competence. Intercultural training is often offered by organisations, companies or educational institutions to help their employees operate successfully in an increasingly globalised world. Intercultural training can be offered in various formats, such as face-to-face seminars, online training or a combination of both. They can also be tailored to specific target groups, such as company employees, managers, students or educators. Overall, intercultural training can help to improve intercultural competence and sensitivity and thus promote successful cooperation in a multicultural environment.

How does intercultural training work?

Our training programmes are a mixture of theory and practical exercises. In addition to the basics of cultural and communication studies, it is important to us to enable you to look beyond your own horizons in various exercises with other participants and to expand your range of action in intercultural situations. We are also happy to combine the training with team-building games to create a good atmosphere during the workshop.

How does “customised” intercultural training work?

We interview a few people from your organisation in advance, preferably participants in the training. We have developed a special questionnaire for this purpose that addresses the questions and challenges you face in your day-to-day work. This enables us to analyse relevant topics in advance and design a training course specifically for your needs. The field of intercultural communication is very broad. This allows us to focus our training much more specifically on you and tailor the content to you in a compact training programme.

What are simulations in intercultural training?

Simulations in intercultural training are exercises that aim to put participants in an intercultural situation and give them the opportunity to try out and practise intercultural communication and cooperation. These simulations can take various forms, such as role plays, case studies or intercultural group exercises. Simulations can also help to break down stereotypes and prejudices and promote understanding and empathy for other cultures. It is important that simulations in intercultural training are carefully planned and conducted to ensure that they are appropriate, respectful and actually contribute to improving intercultural competence.

What challenges can arise in multicultural working environments?

Challenges in multicultural work environments can include communication problems, different working styles and misunderstandings due to cultural differences.

Intercultural training improves collaboration by increasing sensitivity to cultural differences, sharpening communication skills and teaching conflict resolution strategies.
