Workshop Interculturele communicatie

As a volunteer you have to deal with people from many different countries and cultures. Learning a new language often also means learning a new culture. Ways of communication are linked to learned patterns and the associated norms & values within a particular culture. Similarly within 'your' culture! You only get to know 'the other' when you also examine your own culture. During this interactive workshop we discuss cases in which we work with both our 'own' culture and that of 'the other'.

After the workshop you will have more insight into your own norms and values pattern and you will get tools to bridge cultural differences - through (mutual) understanding - and to apply this in your volunteer work.
