Last week, CLIQ hosted a 2-hour online workshop focusing on intercultural communication and its impact on professional settings. The session provided an introduction to how culture influences our daily lives, especially in the workplace. Participants gained insights into the role culture plays in shaping our views, actions, and communication styles, along with tools to navigate cultural differences effectively.

The workshop facilitator gave an overview of how cultural backgrounds influence individual behaviour, what the visible and invisible aspects of cultures are, as well as the different communication styles. This understanding is crucial for enhancing intercultural competence and contributing to a diverse work environment.

Key Models and Instruments

Participants were introduced to various models and instruments designed to recognise and navigate cultural differences. These tools help identify cultural biases and adapt communication strategies, laying the groundwork for creating a more inclusive and effective workplace.
