New concept

They just tick differently: intercultural conflict management

Strengthening international cooperation and achieving goals more easily

training
This training is held in German.
Misunderstandings can put a noticeable strain on cooperation in everyday working life - in international cooperation and in multicultural teams, where linguistic subtleties and cultural differences often lead to irritation. This makes it all the more valuable to understand how conflicts arise and what values or expectations lie behind them. In this training course, you will learn practical methods with which you can recognize intercultural conflicts at an early stage, avoid them with confidence and resolve them constructively in an emergency.

Contents
