Objectives
Why do your Norwegian colleagues leave at 4pm? Why are there so many meetings in the Norwegian working culture where everyone talks before the boss makes a decision? Ever had trouble getting your point across in a Norwegian way? You might need a crash course in working with Norwegians.
We hope that this work shop will give practical insight into what you can expect in Norway, help you to improve your skills in communicating with your Norwegian colleagues and leaders. It will also address the Norwegian view on life/work balance, how Norwegians socialize and thereby help you integrate in the Norwegian society in general.
We also seek Norwegian participants who can give a Norwegian view in the group tasks, and who wants to learn about how Norwegians at work are perceived.
Target group
Recently arrived academic staff and administrative staff with a role regarding reception and integration.
