Sawubona - Intercultural Training South Africa

Sawubona and a warm welcome to an intercultural training session on South Africa.  This interactive workshop is both for students who are travelling to South Africa and those who are still contemplating the opportunity and need some insights for informed decision-making.

This is a catch-up date from the originally scheduled workshop in May.

We'll delve into key aspects, including:

1. Stereotyping and Unconscious Bias: challenge preconceptions and biases through open dialogue, fostering empathy and cultural sensitivity.
2. Cultural Dimensions: gain insights into the cultural dimensions shaping interactions in South Africa
3. Phases of Adjustment: understand the stages of cultural adjustment in South Africa and develop strategies in advance to navigate the inevitable highs and lows of your journey.
4. Discover the rich ethnic diversity of South Africa
5. Official languages: immerse yourself in the linguistic diversity of South Africa, from the twelve official languages to the unique expressions of South African English.
6. LGBTQ Communicy: gain an understanding of the LGBTQ community in South Africa
7. Tips to accelerate cultural integration: some do's and don'ts.
8. What are the safety precautions I should take in South Africa. What is public transportation like? How feasible is it to travel within South Africa?
9. General tips from a student who has been on exchange to South Africa

This workshop goes beyond theory, offering practical applications to ensure you're equipped with the knowledge and mindset needed for a fulfilling and respectful experience in South Africa. We will also have fun during the workshop, giving all participants a chance to socialize and build their network.

All students of the FH Münster who are interested in South African culture.
