Constructive Collaboration in international groups
Enhance your teamwork skills in a complex environment
Doing a PhD or working in an intercultural research team is certainly both: inspiring and supportive on the one hand – as you can benefit from the existing diversity – and challenging on the other hand, as the different cultural backgrounds and imprints of the group members can harbor potential for conflict.
This team workshop supports participants in reflecting on their own learned communication patterns, recognizing obstructive behaviors and replacing them with constructive alternatives to promote effective and enjoyable collaboration. This also serves to prevent conflict – e.g. by avoiding misunderstandings rooted for example in cultural or gender differences – and encourages a self-confident, positive approach to differences.
In this way, this workshop offers you a great opportunity to strengthen trusting and positive cooperation in your research group.
First part: Nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg
- Introduction to the concept that facilitates constructive communication
- Exploration of human needs as our “common ground” that help us explain and bridge differences between people, cultures and genders
- Getting to know the “4 steps” of the model
- How to prepare for and how to have a difficult conversation
Second part: Application of what you have learned to your own group
- Recognizing what is going well in the working group and thus promoting the positive development
- Identifying the areas where communication can still be improved
- Are there intercultural challenges in the group and how can they be resolved?
- Using the concept of Marshall Rosenberg to resolve everyday challenges
In addition to theoretical inputs, the workshop focuses on interactive elements, practical exercises, group discussions and roleplays.
