Culture Shock & Mobility Workshops are weekly discussion sessions led by international students from the MA course on intercultural management.

They are a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and countries, share your experiences of life in France or abroad, as a foreigner, or prepare for future travels.

The workshops are held in English which make them a great chance to develop your language skills! They take place at a fixed time every week and are open to all students registered at UB, who can sign up for free.

During the workshops you will talk about various topics connected with culture, such as:

• Cross-cultural sensitivity
• Cultural differences in business
• Dealing with culture shock when on mobility
• Different concepts in different cultures, including ethics, family values, jokes and humour, stereotypes, table manners and food….

Come and join for workshops our students in intercultural management this semester!

Sessions are as follows (you choose one fixed session for the semester):

• Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday 12-1pm
