1. Intercultural
Proficiency
“Virtual environment makes it harder to
communicate and learning to do it
successfully is the skill of the future. The
same applies to leadership in international
teams, be it face-to-face or virtually. In this
course, you will learn about both and gain
skills of & for the future. Such an amazing
and packed experience! 11 days flew by and I
learned so much! Intercultural & virtual
teams are the future and here you have the
chance to try both at the same time! Thank
you for this opportunity!.” April, 2020

2. Intercultural
Proficiency
“Working in international virtual teams organized by
DOBA is a challenge and an opportunity for me to
meet new cultures, establish and expand knowledge.
This is my fourth course in a virtual international
team, organized by DOBA. I had the opportunity to
participate in a well-designed program by top
lecturers. I also met amazing people and I have kept
in touch with them. Our cultural differences did not
constitute any barriers. This was a great experience
and I am happy to have been a part of this project “

other cultures); Different values,
different mindsets, different cultural
backgrounds.” Milan Corlins,

competent , because I observed how
other cultures differ from mine and I
have learnt to respect that, and I will
definitely make use of the skills gained

life.”Tafadzwa Marcia Machingura,

“I joined the course in Virtual Communication
Across Cultures @home because I wanted to
collaborate with other students worldwide. The
course has lived beyond my expectations and
has given me new insights, perspectives,
broadened my horizons, and most importantly
new friends. I will cherish this.”

5. Intercultural
Proficiency
“I am thankful that I got the opportunity to participate
in the project. This was my first experience with
working in a virtual environment with other students
from different countries. It was such a great
opportunity to meet other cultures and see their ways
of thinking or working. I learnt why intercultural
competency for employment and success in the
workplace is important. I would highly recommend
other students to participate because of the
knowledge that you will receive and definitely use in
your work. Also, it is good that you start to work more
on your personal development.”
