Are you preparing for your semester abroad (as an Incoming student at HSRM or an Outgoing student from HSRM)? Do you want to learn how to effectively showcase the personal skills you've developed during your study abroad in job interviews? Are you curious about the connection between intercultural competence, mindfulness, and resilience? This course provides a platform for you to enhance your global and professional skills. By reflecting on your personal intercultural experiences alongside fellow international students, we will bring theory into practice. We will explore concepts related to culture, intercultural communication, conflict resolution, and resilience strategies. Additionally, we will examine your unique (multicultural) values and how they shape your identity.

Throughout your stay abroad, you will create an interactive portfolio that showcases your personal development. Given that collaborating with individuals from diverse backgrounds—whether remotely or in-person—will likely be a part of your future career, this course aims to enhance your future skill set in many ways.

For the completion of the course, you can earn 3 ECTS- Credits. Please put them on your Learning Agreement. Questions by faculty can be directed to me directly.
