EFFECTIVE INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION – We all know that communication is the foundation of our community life. Effective communication occurs only if we understand each other and is essential for both, our personal and professional life. However, our world and the society itself have transformed into globalized ones including economic, technological and socio-cultural changes causing the integration of national economies into the international one. Consequently, understanding people of different cultures, backgrounds and communication patterns has become our everyday reality thus emphasizing the importance of effective intercultural communication. In other words, developing and broadening our cultural awareness, promoting clearer communication, breaking down barriers, building trust, strengthening relationship, and achieving better results in terms of business success have become an essential part of our school. This way we broaden our knowledge about multiculturalism by developing intercultural competences thus stressing the importance of mutual respect and understanding.
Cross cultural communication refers to the communication between people who have differences in any one of the following: styles of working, age, nationality, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Cross cultural communication can also refer to the attempts that are made to exchange, negotiate and mediate cultural differences by means of language, gestures and body language. It is how people belonging to different cultures communicate with each other.

The modern labor force is more diverse than ever and consists of a broad selection of expertise, customs, qualifications, viewpoints and perceptions regarding work- All these things impact communication on the job.
Nowadays, we need to learn how to communicate all over again, just like when we were children. This requires learning language as well as learning behavioral norms for good communication. However, this will be a bit different since we're adults learning how to communicate in someone else's culture, not our own.
Intercultural communication is the verbal and nonverbal interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds. Basically, 'inter-' is a prefix that means 'between' and cultural means… well, from a culture, so intercultural communication is the communication between cultures. Sometimes, this is used to describe a single person trying to interact in a foreign environment but more often, it is a two-way street, where people from both cultures are trying to improve their communication.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

4. Benefits of Intercultural Communication
5. Discussion
4. Origins
• Intercultural communication stretches back into antiquity. It all began when
people from different cultures started to meet together and communicate
with each other. First, it was promoted by missionaries, merchants or
diplomats.
• As an academic field of study and research it has been popular since
1950s. The term ‘intercultural communication’ was first used when the
American anthropologists Edward T. Hall, Ruth and John Useem began
to explore how people from different cultures can successfully
communicate.
• During the past decades the growth of globalization, immigration and
international tourism has involved large numbers of people in intercultural
interaction. This has led to an increased desire and need for knowledge
regarding how people from different cultures, beliefs and religions come
together to work and communicate with each other.
5. Definition
Interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds;
a process of exchanging, negotiating, and mediating one's cultural
differences through language, non-verbal gestures,
and space relationships
6. • Cross-cultural Communication - implies a
comparison of and contrast between particular
aspects of communication between cultures
• Intercultural Communication - the
communication between people from
different cultures (it refers to what happens
when these culturally-different groups
come together, interact and communicate)
7. Interdisciplinary orientation
• cultural anthropology
• psychology
• social psychology
• sociology
• linguistics and semiotics
• cultural studies
• rhetoric
8. Benefits of studying Intercultural Communication
according to F.E. Jandt1
improving verbal and nonverbal communication;
becoming better in recognizing and undertaking communication
behaviours in various contexts;
better adaptation to a new environment;
learning how to understand, reduce and overcome stress;
better understanding of one’s own culture and finding one’s place in
a society;
reduced feeling of anxiety in contacts with members of other
cultures;
learning about customs and habitual behaviours of members of
other cultures.

9. Benefits of Intercultural
Communication
• willingness to accept differences;
• personal growth through increased
tolerance;
• dialogue;
• cooperation;
• developing a positive attitude towards otherness;
• increased international, national, and local
commerce;
10. The importance of IC
The theories developed by the researchers and academics can and
has been applied to many fields such as business, management,
marketing, advertising and website design.
As business becomes more and more international, many companies
need to know how best to structure their companies, manage staff and
communicate with customers. Intercultural communication gives them
an insight into the areas they need to address or understand.
Intercultural communication theories are now also used within the
education, health care and other public services due to growing
multicultural populations.
11. Cross-cultural communication
• As our world becomes increasingly
interconnected, people increasingly
encounter problems when communicating
with people from other cultures. This can
lead to problems ranging from employee
frustration and decreased efficiency, to
losing billion dollar deals.
