These workshops focus 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 workshop is facilitated by Living Institute’s Chief Consultant, Kasper Jelsbech Knudsen. Kasper specializes in inclusive leadership, advancing gender parity, unconscious bias mitigation, and cross-cultural collaborations. He holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Aarhus University.

Cultural Intelligence for Cross-Cultural Communication and Collaboration

These workshops focus on cross-cultural communication and collaboration within the Aarhus University context and the challenges and benefits of diversity and inclusion. Danish AU staff members attend together with AU International staff members. 
Participants gain research-based knowledge and insights within the area of cross-cultural collaboration and discuss 'culturally intelligent' strategies on how to navigate in culturally diverse groups, avoid misunderstandings and be attentive to 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.

The workshop is facilitated by Signe Ørom, CEO and Principal Consultant from Connecting Cultures. Signe holds a Ph.D in languages and culture, has extensive practical experience and theoretical knowledge about cross-cultural encounters and working effectively in Diverse teams.
