This workshop provides a hands-on experience in adjusting to variations in cultural values and communication styles found in overseas work and life. Participants will identify key cultural values, identify personal reactions to cultural differences, and explore effective strategies for living with cultural diversity.
Participant Feedback:
"For me, I learned to appreciate all over again how difficult it is when first entering the Foreign Service lifestyle. Despite years of experience in adapting to a different culture, each country presents new challenges."
"I think everyone at State should take this course, especially before going overseas. It's also helpful in dealing with people of different countries/cultures in Washington, DC."
"It reminded me and raised my level of awareness about things that are culturally different. Things to be more relaxed about were brought to light and also confirmed cultural issues that I already knew existed. Thank you!"
