Information

Have you ever found yourself wondering why working with other people sometimes is challenging? This is because we are different, especially if we are from different cultures, each with its own traditions, clothing, habits, and language. In 2023, there were approximately 3.4 billion global employees, compared to 2.28 billion employees in 1991 - an increase of more than 1 billion people in 22 years. Therefore, intercultural communication and work in intercultural teams have become essential skills to be acquired due to globalisation and spreading internationalisation. Developing these skills becomes an advantage for a more successful start of a professional career.

In the micro-module “Intercultural Teamwork” we uncover the features of working together in teams with people from different cultures. Everyone interested in teamwork and cultural differences is invited to join this course. You do not need to have any specific skills to participate.

At the end of the micro-module: 1) You will become acquainted with team-working phases and the intercultural differences that influence collaborative decision-making. 2) You will gain practical skills related to the principles of intercultural and virtual teamwork.
