Do you work in a multicultural environment or in a culturally diverse team?

Whether you have just arrived in Qatar, have been working here for an extended period, or are a local, you are no doubt part of a multicultural workplace. But simply being part of a diverse environment does not automatically make you interculturally fluent.

Learning how to operate effectively in multicultural environments is a complex skill, requiring self-reflection, knowledge and understanding.

Being able to adapt to new intercultural situations, effectively communicate and build rapport with colleagues from different backgrounds, and establish positive professional relationships across cultures, can be essential for team building, successful negotiation and problem-solving.

Intercultural Fluency training from the British Council equips you with the skills, awareness and confidence that you need to perform at your best in any multicultural environment. The specialised training empowers you with the knowledge and techniques to navigate the challenges and pitfalls that can arise when communicating and building relationships in intercultural situations.

The monthly public introductory course is designed to develop your understanding of cultural similarities and differences, to teach you how to adapt your approach in different business situations, and to avoid potential conflicts and misunderstandings in your daily role.

What can Intercultural Fluency do for you?

  • Increase your employability and support your career development through practical knowledge and new skills
  • Better manage your own integration with colleagues in culturally diverse environments
  • Discover how to anticipate and avoid potential social and workplace pitfalls through a deeper level of awareness of cultural similarities and differences
  • Confidently adapt your approach in new multicultural environments and communicate your ideas in a manner that is appreciative of cultural differences
  • Perform at your best in any intercultural situation
  • Raise your profile as an effective team member or business leader by being a successful communicator.
