🌍 New event at SIETAR UK 🌍 📢 "Deconstructing Unconscious Biases — Neuropsychological Insights into how we construct our reality”. 💻 Talk on Zoom by Patrick L. Schmidt 📆 Tuesday, 1 October 18.00 – 19.00 UK time. We are pleased to announce that Patrick L. Schmidt, a former President of SIETAR Europa and former Editor-in-chief of the SIETAR Europa Journal, will be giving a talk for SIETAR UK members and a wider audience on Tuesday, 1 October 18.00 – 19.00 UK time. Patrick will talk about how our unconscious biases influence our everyday lives and our intercultural relationships. Based on his new book "Your Unconscious Biases", he will draw your attention to our biases by using great works of art that demonstrate how our memories, experiences and memories, especially those from early childhood, largely dictate our behaviour. This talk is unique in the sense that it helps us see our unconscious biases by emphasizing the artistic visual aspect. Patrick Schmidt has been active in the intercultural field for over 30 years, working as a facilitator, lecturer and author. American by birth and education, he left the U.S. soon after finishing his studies and spent the next three decades living and working in France, Germany, Austria, Canada and Malaysia. His extensive work with the German automobile industry led to his first book "Understanding American and German Business Cultures". His second book, "In Search of Intercultural Understanding", is a practical guide to living and working across cultures. "Dancing to a Different Tune", his third book, is a collection of interviews, essays and commentaries on the intercultural experience. He served as president of SIETAR Europa (2010 - 2011) as well as editor-in-chief of the SIETAR Europa Journal (2009 - 2021). He now lives in Strasbourg, France. The talk is free to attend. Please register for the event by clicking on the registration link below. We look forward to seeing you on 1 October. SIETAR UK team #unconsciousbias SIETAR Europa #intercultural

A Date for your diaries - 25th September This looks like a fascinating discussion with SIETAR France and Prof Helen Spencer-Oatey
🌍Internationalisation of Higher Education Expert, 📍Evaluation & Strategies 💡Research 🌐Intercultural & international competence 📍Interdisciplinarity & Diversity 📍Teachers Trainer : Erasmus MUNDUS Alumni
📌 SIETAR France 🇫🇷 Made in France and Ailleurs Webinar: « 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤: 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 » with Prof Helen Spencer-Oatey ⏳ 25/09/2024, 18 h 00 min - 19 h 30 min CEST 📍 "Effective relationship management at work is crucial for business/organisational success – it affects employee performance and wellbeing, as well as the recruitment and retention of talent. Yet relationship management is demanding to handle well, especially in contexts of cultural diversity. 📍 Colleagues can get upset or annoyed with each other, and managers and direct reports can have difficulty working together smoothly. In this talk I introduce a framework and a set of tools that can help people handle relationship challenges at work more effectively. 🔈 I start by explaining the six key factors that have been identified in pragmatic theory and research as affecting rapport. Each of the factors has the potential to enhance rapport or to undermine it, and so if relationships are to be managed well, the factors need to be handled in ways that take each party’s wants and expectations into account. This means that it is important to be mindful of people’s preferences and expectations, and I introduce the TRIPS Rapport Management Framework as a way of supporting this process. Session participants will have the opportunity to reflect on and apply the framework to authentic case studies, and to learn about a new tool, the RELMAP (Relationship Management Profiler) which can identify priority areas for professional development around handling working relationships. 👩🏫 Prof Helen Spencer-Oatey is Managing Director of GlobalPeople Consulting Ltd. (GPC) and Emeritus Professor of Intercultural Communication at the University of Warwick, UK. Working at the interface of #psychology and #communication, she is internationally renowned for her writings on intercultural rapport, relationships and communication. She has developed a wide range of popular diagnostic tools and professional development resources for organisations, teams and individuals – now available via GlobalPeople Consulting Ltd. Her two most recent books are Making Working Relationships Work (co-authored with Domna Lazidou) and Global Fitness for Global People (co-authored with Peter Franklin and Domna Lazidou), both published by Castledown Press." #ConversationMatters #ISAIAS #diversophyAmbassador #interculturality #InternationalEducation #InterculturalCompetence #paradigm #MentalHealth SIETAR Austria SIETAR Deutschland e.V.

🌟 We are looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming SIETAR event! 🌟 The last event of this year will be an online interactive session by Maura Di Mauro on: 🔹How, as interculturalists, can we contribute to migrants’ integration, particularly third-country nationals? 🔹 How can we support the building of intercultural competences so as to facilitate migrants’ integration process? 🔹 And how can the building of intercultural competences support the inclusion of an intercultural perspective in migrants’ integration policy? This session will give the opportunity to understand how to include an intercultural perspective in migrants’ integration policy, and to extend participants’ intercultural training toolkits. During this 90 minute interactive session, Maura Di Mauro will share the main highlights of one of the recent projects she has worked on: the EU-BELONG project, aimed at improving the socio- economic inclusion and migrants’ sense of belonging. She will also share the main recommendations and practices synthesized in the handbook “Building Intercultural Competences” developed for regional authorities and local stakeholders. Participants will be actively involved in sharing their training and consultant experiences, and their intercultural practices about migrants’ integration projects. 📌 When: December 13th at 5.30pm (UK time)/ 6.30pm (CET) 📌 Where: Zoom Register here: https://lnkd.in/gZtjf63J
