Cohort Meeting 2024
In occasion of this year´s Cohort Meeting the MMS plans a workshop to develop intercultural team communication skills.
Team communication: key roles and intercultural contexts
This workshop helps participants to explore those issues that most often affect communication in terms of team dynamics and to investigate those intercultural aspects that most frequently pose challenges to groups characterised by a high degree of internationalisation. Throughout the workshop, participants are encouraged to identify the specific role that each individual plays within a team. Within this context, the workshop is always characterised by a constant alternation between theoretical insights and hands-on practical experiences to provide participants with the tools to enhance their group’s professional potential.
On the first day, participants attend the workshop all together as a single group. On the second day, participants join the trainer for a series of one-to-one sessions characterised by a dedicated tailor-made approach. The lenght of the one-to-one sessions depends on the total number of participants.
