International Career & Personal Development:
Intercultural competence is a key soft skill and a vital part of personal growth. It prepares students and professionals for international teams, semesters abroad, and the global workforce, while strengthening self-awareness, adaptability, and confidence.
My intercultural workshop program includes two distinct formats: Awareness and Design.
In both formats, international and German participants experience diverse teamwork as a real-time learning field, developing practical skills in communication, collaboration, conflict navigation, and shared decision-making.
Awareness Workshops
Participants explore how culture shapes perception, communication, leadership, feedback, and problem-solving. They reflect on visible and invisible cultural dimensions and recognize how misunderstandings arise from differing assumptions.
The focus is on strengthening cultural intelligence and effective collaboration.
Design Workshops
Awareness becomes applied practice. In mixed international teams, participants develop media design projects through research, brainstorming, storyboarding, and final production.
They integrate diverse design approaches into shared concepts, using cultural awareness as a foundation for collaborative creation and innovation.
