Cross-Cultural Workshops
About our workshops
The International Staff Office offers workshops every semester aimed at developing awareness and engagement with cross-cultural communication, cultural diversity and inclusion. Not only do participants gain insights into Danish culture and potential ways to navigate living and working in Denmark, but they also acquire strategies and tools that can create more culturally inclusive environments.
- The workshops are for all Aarhus University staff (academic, administrative/technical and PhDs), as well as their spouses/partners.
- The workshops are free of charge, but registration is required.
Danish Culture Crash Course
This workshop focuses on living and working in Denmark. Participants engage with Danish cultural history and how it shapes daily life and workplace behaviour. We offer practical tools and strategies for how to act ‘culturally intelligent’ in Denmark and when collaborating cross-culturally.
The content is primarily targeted to newly arrived international staff and partners but even if you have been here longer, you are also welcome join. Danish staff are invited too!
Working across cultures at AU
The focus of this workshop is on cross-cultural communication and collaboration within the Aarhus University context and the challenges and benefits of diversity and inclusion.
Participants gain research-based knowledge and insights. Discussions center on 'culturally intelligent' strategies on how to navigate in culturally diverse groups, avoid misunderstandings, blind spots and cultural biases when collaborating cross-culturally. The aim is to enhance performance, innovation and satisfaction within the AU workplace by recognizing the benefits of inclusive workplaces.
Danish AU staff members attend together with AU International staff members.
