Interculturality and business context: A practical workshop

Info about event

Time

Monday 5 October 2026, at 11:00 - at

Building on the two-workshop series on humanitarian aid in conflict zones (9 March and 9 April 2026), which brought together Intercultural Studies and Human Security students (approximately 25 participants per session), LACUA proposes a more in-depth follow-up workshop for fall 2026.

The workshop will include a certificate of completion and focus on the intersection of business, intercultural dialogue, and themes currently central to LACUA's agenda. It will offer students from Intercultural Studies and other programs a space to engage with real case scenarios and explore, from a practical standpoint, how intercultural dilemmas play out in the daily operations of Danish organizations.
