Detail
Intercultural competence: Germany
German culture is explained via different methods: pictures, cases, models, values, videos, etc. The Iceberg Model helps participants to differentiate between the visible (e.g. organized fun) and the invisible aspects of German culture (e.g. cultural norms like “Nur bei Grün – den Kindern ein Vorbild”). We will experiment with the change of perspectives with case studies and videos and reflect selected German cultural standards, such as “objective professionalism”, “the differentiation between private and working spheres” and “direct communication styles”. This discourse includes the reflection on how the values of equality and honesty show in everyday life communication and behavioral patterns. Students learn deductively with different experiments and via reflection.
