Welcome to the online course: Working with Norwegians
This course will explain the social norms, unwritten rules and expectations in Norwegian workplaces. It will provide a practical insight into what you may expect in Norway, both professionally and socially. You will get information that is not easily accessible elsewhere, and learn how to deal with the lack of clarity that often is prevalent. There will be reflection exercised with scenarios where cultural differences come to the surface. The course will also have a small part about socializing in Norway.
Date: Thursday 14th October
Time: 10.00 – 15.00 with lunch break from 12 – 13
The aim of this training is to make you more confident on how to behave in Norway and to reduce the risk of cultural misunderstandings. The instructor is Karin Ellis (CEO of Ellis Culture), author of the books ‘Working with Norwegians’, ‘Applying for jobs in Norway’ and ‘Flerkulturelle arbeidsplasser'. Karin has several years’ experience with developing and conducting intercultural training. Typical feedback from participants of these sessions is that misunderstandings and mistakes made in the past could have been avoided if they had participated earlier.
