While an intercultural seminar is a one-time event that can last several days, depending on the topic and intensity throughout, the transfer of knowledge takes place in intercultural courses in several pedagogical and didactic steps over a longer period of time. It is almost like a step-by-step training.
One intercultural workshop is most similar to the intercultural seminar. Many elements overlap, which is why the terms are often confused. There is a clear distinctive feature: the new knowledge is mainly intercultural acquired together during a moderated workshop. This means that theory takes a back seat to practice in group work. In order to make this possible, care is taken to ensure that the group of participants in intercultural workshops is even smaller than in the intercultural seminar.
An intercultural conference – also known as a congress, symposium or conference – when people who work in the same subject area come together to exchange ideas and maintain contacts. Knowledge is imparted through lectures, presentations, workshops and panel discussions.
The same pattern can be found in the intercultural seminar in adult education. At this unique further training event, the participants in a small group are not only taught theory – as in a lecture – but are directly involved. Through questions, teamwork, practical case studies, role plays and discussions, you will actively participate in acquiring the new intercultural skills for practical use. This is very important, especially in a professional context. In the seminar topic -intercultural- the personal experiences in connection with the results make a much better impression than notes from informative lectures. Each individual benefits in the long term from the exchange with me as the seminar leader and the other participants.
I will actively involve you as a seminar participant.
