This is an interactive workshop in which we’ll explore what makes some intercultural encounters more successful than others. It will take place on:
1 April, 09:30 to 12:30
27/3057
Sign up by emailing [email protected] with ‘Professional Services workshop’ in the title line. Deadline: Friday 20 March
We’ll reflect on how expectations affect communication, including stereotyping and conventions such as punctuality and politeness. Finally, we’ll learn some simple ways to adjust how we speak and write so that our communication is more effective. Throughout the workshop you’ll be able to share your ideas, experience and examples of good practice with your colleagues.
This workshop has previously been run with staff from Student and Academic Administration with excellent feedback:
“Very good event to raise awareness and share ideas with staff from other areas of the uni”
“I think every member of staff should go to this session!”
Led by Jill Doubleday, Modern Languages and Alison Dickens, LLAS (Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies) as part of the Intercultural Connections Southampton project.
