Communication skills in multicultural environment

This workshop will explore key communication theories, including high-context vs. low-context cultures, verbal and nonverbal communication differences, and strategies for fostering inclusive communication. The session will consist of one hour of theoretical training and 30 minutes of interactive exercises to apply key concepts in practice.

Learning outcomes: by the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify and analyse the cultural differences in communication styles and their impact on academic interactions.
• Implement strategies to improve communication effectiveness in multicultural environments, emphasising inclusive language and awareness of nonverbal cues.
• Develop effective strategies to promote intercultural dialogue and collaboration in educational settings.

Practical information: maximum of 30 participants.

Multi-class: social class, culture and first-generation students in higher education

11.30h – 13:00h on campus KASK – trainer: David Van Bunder (HOGENT)

This session is based on two research tracks we have worked on over the past few years. On the one hand, the Multiclass project, which focused on making multicultural classrooms in higher education more inclusive. On the other hand, we will incorporate results from our research on first-generation students—students whose parents did not obtain a higher education degree. We aim to offer insight into how social class influences culture(s) of students in higher education and how this might increase social inequalities instead of reducing them.

Learning outcomes:

• Participants gain insight into how social class influences culture(s) of students in higher education and how this might increase social inequalities instead of reducing them.

Practical information: maximum of 30 participants.
