The seminar will focus on acquiring and developing intercultural communication competences. By encouraging our cultural sensitivity we will develop an attitude that sees diversity as an opportunity rather than a danger. We will try to analyze and understand our cultural and communicative specific behavior, search for and explain cultural differences.
In the second part participants will become acquainted with some theoretical concepts of culture mainly with Geert Hofstede´s concept of "Cultural dimensions" and with the concept of Ronald Inglehart. These concepts should be presented by the students in form of (power point) presentations. The presentations serve as a basis for further discussions in class.
In the third part of the seminar we will develop a more conscious communicative behavior by means of discussing "case studies", teamwork and role-playings. It will be asked what we should change in our "normal" communicative behavior in order to succeed in intercultural communication situations.

The seminar will focus on acquiring and developing intercultural communication competences.
The seminar is not that much focused on acquiring theoretical knowledge but more on getting practical skills in intercultural communicative situations. Therefore, students should be ready to actively perform in role-playings, to take part in discussions, and to present a (theoretical) concept of culture in class.
