What:\u00a0 This is an interactive workshop in which we\u2019ll explore what makes some intercultural encounters more successful than others. \u00a0We\u2019ll reflect on how expectations affect communication, including stereotyping and conventions such as punctuality and politeness. \u00a0Finally, we\u2019ll learn some simple ways to adjust how we speak and write so that our communication is more effective. \u00a0Throughout the workshop you\u2019ll be able to share your ideas, experience and examples of good practice with your colleagues.<\/p>\n

This workshop has previously been run with staff from Student and Academic Administration with excellent feedback:<\/p>\n
