Interpersonal skills across cultures (19 Apr 06)
Date: 19 April, 2006
Location: Nottingham Trent University, Dice Building - City Site, Room SR1
Event type: Workshop
Past event summary
The proposed workshop was designed to provide a personal development course for individuals, who sought to enhance their interpersonal communication skills across cultural boundaries.
The workshop allowed participants to investigate their own communication patterns and begin to identify and acknowledge the communication style of others. The workshop focused on communication at three levels: the interpersonal, the inter-group and the intercultural. The workshop was experiential and involved extensive group interaction, with a mixture of formal presentation, discussion and interactive activities.
This event was organised under the Subject Centre's Workshops to go scheme.
