* From this moment on, you’ll be working and studying in an international environment. To help you adapt to this international setting, we invite you to participate in this workshop on intercultural awareness.

This workshop won’t offer you ‘a manual’ to other cultures, but it helps you to get to know yourself better in an intercultural context. You realize what you consider to be ‘normal’ and how this impacts your expectations. We’ll look at culture and how it impacts different topics such as cooperation in project groups, giving feedback and the relationship with your fellow students and supervisors.
