Are you interested in culture and intercultural communication? Do you want to communicate effectively with people from other cultures? If so, the Summer School on Intercultural Competence could be for you!
Intercultural competence is considered one of the top 10 skills necessary for future workers. It helps you to recognize cultural differences and to understand their influence on interaction. This skill allows you to easily prevent misunderstandings and miscommunications! By developing your intercultural competence, you will gain a life skill and improve your future employability.
