CLIC: Inter-Communication: Culture Shock Unpacked: Thriving in a New Environment

New

Most students and researchers will experience culture shock in some form when interacting with people from all over the world in Cambridge. While we all speak the same language, the unwritten rules of social norms can make our interactions challenging. If you have recently moved to the UK, you might feel lost or disoriented. If you come from the UK but are not accustomed to interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds, you might also struggle. International diversity is key to Cambridge's success, so embracing culture clash as part of the journey is important.

Join our workshop to:

• Gain a better understanding of the cultural integration process.
• Learn about culture shock and what you can do to navigate it.
• Discuss the positives of diverse cultures as part of your unique experience at Cambridge.

This workshop is aimed towards participants in the field of Engineering.
