Intercultural interaction skills and leadership skills for diverse groups are playing an increasing role in our working lives. Customer work, mentoring and leadership all require the ability to interact with people from different backgrounds. Intercultural encounters enrich our daily lives, but also challenge our thinking and provide an opportunity for us to truly develop as professionals. MOK in-service training offers skills for intercultural interaction, tools for working with diverse groups and the opportunity to reflect upon our own role and experiences in a facilitated small group.
MOK is designed to meet the needs of teachers, coaches, customer-service staff and instructors. The training provides an introduction to six hands-on methods that you can apply in your work across all intercultural encounters.
A strong theoretical foundation and small group sizes allow for reflection on one’s own experiences. The aim is to develop each participant's self-knowledge and intercultural interaction skills. The instruction is given in Finnish, Swedish and English.
MOK workshops and training sessions are organized as in-person training or online. You are warmly welcome to join our open training sessions or to ask for more information about organizing training for your own work community!
