Art and intercultural communication

Apart from art being a tool by which you can express yourself, it is also acts as a means of non-verbal communication

In this course we will work with art and communication in various ways, the goal being to find ways to better communicate with people from other cultures who use other languages and come from diverse backgrounds.

Doing such helps a person develop a balance between self-care and care in everyday working life, a condition that in a global world that has become more international, and so intercultural, is of increasing value.

The course offers the participants methodologies for learning to understand which element of their language make it difficult for them to work with others.

The participants can familiarize themselves with the roots of non-violent communication, and practice the condition of not taking criticism and attacks personally.

The goals are to create diminished altercations, shorten conflicts that produce creative results, learn how to recreate the rules to build consistent and sustainable agreement, to develop a culture of empathy, to make decisions based on needs, and in so doing contribute to a culture of non-violence within both the zone of the workplace and beyond.

Participants will use practical exercises and tools in the following ways: To

• understand culture, culture diversity and interculturality.
• understand how culture influences the way we think, act, and even feel.
• build self empowerment
• enrich educating/teaching methods
• develop their positive perspective
• create and maintain the connection with participants/students of any age
• set, and keep clear, boundaries
• improve communication across cultures.
• develop intercultural sensitivity and competence.
• see how to have a conversation that contains empathy
• distinguish between punishing and restraining the individual in order to protect others/the flow of the lesson/discussion
• develop new strategies for dealing with anger and outbursts
• grow understanding of different approaches in different cultures/languages
• develop a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges of culturally diverse teams, and ways to manage/exploit them.
