Higher education in Japan has been facing a growing need to globalize. An increasing number of overseas students who are of diverse cultural and educational backgrounds are now studying together. In a global environment, everyone will face a variety of challenges including the necessity to communicate with people of different cultural backgrounds in their research activities, daily life, classrooms, and laboratories.
Some of you may be concerned about how to build prime relationships with overseas collaborators to improve the efficiency of your joint research projects without causing a cultural misunderstanding.
 
 This workshop helps you acquire effective cross-cultural communication skills and gives you tips how to appreciate different cultures and deal with typical issues that you or your students may encounter (e.g., culture shock). We will also discuss and explore the solutions for the problems that participants have.
