The University Welcome Centre has once again become a place for intercultural training! The intercultural workshops # interlab+ workshops, led by Joanna Wasilewska, brought together the university's administrative staff who work with foreigners daily, including students, employees and foreign visitors. The classes took place on September 22-24, 2025.
During the classes, participants developed their skills in the area of intercultural communication, learned about the mechanisms of culture shock, learned how to respond effectively to difficult situations, and developed good practices for supporting foreigners in the adaptation process. The programme included simulation exercises, case studies, moderated discussions and trainer presentations.
The aim of the workshops was not only to broaden the participants' knowledge, but also to increase empathy and openness in intercultural relations - to ensure even better cooperation and integration in the international academic community of the University of Gdańsk.
The classes were conducted as part of the Erasmus+ TCA programme on the basis of a partnership agreement between the Foundation for the Development of the Education System and the University of Gdańsk.
