16 AugustIntercultural Competence – More than a catchphrase!?
> Introduction> What is intercultural competence?
> The self and the other> An intercultural encounter

Contact with people from other cultures at work and in everyday life is a common
fact nowadays, a consequence of increasing globalisation and migration.
Therefore intercultural competence has become an essential skill for all people
involved, be it in working life abroad or in multicultural teams in one’s homecountry.
But what is intercultural competence? What is a culture shock? What options are
there to deal with intercultural misunderstandings? How does conflict resolution
work? These questions and others will be addressed in the summer school, which
unites theory and practice as participants work together in a multicultural team.
Participants will come together for three hours per day. There will be some extra
events for students to meet and chat and to explore and enjoy Münster and theuniversity online.
