Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Living and studying in Austria : In cross-cultural training the goal is learning about yourself and others…. Living in the country does expose you to the host culture, of course, but cross-cultural exposure is not cross-cultural knowledge. Having an experience, in other words, does not necessarily mean understanding it. You need to make sense of the contact you’re having, which is what cross-cultural trainings are designed to do.

- Background information on culture and intercultural communication
- Do’s & Dont’s in Austria
- Typically Austrian: Which values characterise the Austrian mindset
- Culture shock and how to overcome it
- Being a PhD student at an Austrian University
- Tips for everyday life in Austria
- Communicating with Austrians
