Call for Participants - Summer Academy on Intercultural Experience

Description

The Summer Academy will bring together scientists, practitioners, and students to work together on the following questions:

  • What are the major themes in intercultural communication, what has been done in regard to the globalisation process, how has communication changed?
  • How do management and the world of business react to the intercultural challenges in a world of growing complexity?
  • How are cultures constructed, what are their origins and how do people perceive the world, how can we solve the problems that arise when different cultural values meet?

The Summer Academy will comprise lectures on intercultural communication, intercultural management, cultures and conflicts, European cultural studies, intercultural training and coaching as well as leadership in intercultural teams. All the courses will have complementary workshop sessions with theoretical and practical content offered by trainers who are experts with large experience in international environments.

 


YFU Perspective The main theme running through the Aacdemy is a focus on intercultural dialogue and communication, which of course is something that is central to YFU.  Participants will gain a more in-depth and specific knowledge of issues relating to intercultural interaction and will have the chance to develop further what they have leraned from their own exchanges with YFU.
