intercultural training
​For professionals in the social environment, such as nurses and educators, understanding cultural differences is particularly important, as they have close contact with people on a daily basis. Our intercultural training courses prepare you specifically for the peculiarities of the German work and social culture in order to work successfully in these areas.
Typical training content:
communication in the social environment
Communication plays a crucial role in nursing and care facilities as well as in daycare centers. The training teaches how to communicate effectively in a German work environment, both with colleagues and with patients, residents or parents. You will learn how to conduct open, clear and respectful conversations, which are particularly valued in German culture.
Working habits and expectations in the health and social care sector
Understanding typical work structures in Germany, such as punctuality, reliability and the importance of hygiene standards, is essential in these professions. You will learn how German quality standards and protocols are implemented in the healthcare sector or in educational work so that you can fit seamlessly into everyday work.
Dealing with sensitive situations and people in need of care
In nursing or in the educational field, dealing with people who need special support is sensitive and demanding. Our training courses help you to recognize cultural differences in dealing with patients, residents or children and to act accordingly. Empathy and respectful handling of the needs of people from different backgrounds are particularly important.
Teamwork and Conflict Management in the Social Sector
Misunderstandings can arise in international teams, especially in jobs where people work closely together. Our training courses prepare you to work successfully in a multicultural team, build trust and resolve conflicts early and professionally. You will learn how teamwork is structured in Germany and how you can coordinate your tasks in the team.
