• Global traditions and communication styles: Exploring how cultural heritage informs professional and personal interaction.
• Heritage studies and contextual communication: Analyzing how historical and social contexts affect communication practices.
• Diversity awareness in communication: Developing the capacity to recognize, respect, and adapt to differences in perspective, behavior, and norms.
• Cultural competence in practice: Building practical skills for ethical and inclusive communication in multicultural settings.

The course integrates theoretical learning with applied exercises to reinforce Cultural competence and Intercultural communication skills. Learners will engage with real-world case studies, simulations, and analytical tasks that cultivate Diversity awareness and practical insight into Global traditions.

Through reflective assignments, participants gain critical awareness of how Cultural factors impact communication in professional, academic, and community contexts. This approach ensures that learners can apply the principles of Cultural competence effectively, enhancing both interpersonal and organizational communication.

The low-commitment design allows learners to progress at a pace that suits their professional and personal obligations. The program focuses on meaningful engagement rather than high-stakes assessment, making it accessible to a wide audience.
