Most students and researchers will experience culture shock in some form when interacting with people from all over the world in Cambridge. While we all speak the same language, the unwritten rules of social norms can make our interactions challenging. If you have recently moved to the UK, you might feel lost or disoriented. If you come from the UK but are not accustomed to interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds, you might also struggle. International diversity is key to Cambridge's success, so embracing culture clash as part of the journey is important.
Join our workshop to:
- Gain a better understanding of the cultural integration process.
- Learn about culture shock and what you can do to navigate it.
- Discuss the positives of diverse cultures as part of your unique experience at Cambridge.
Get ready to overcome culture shock and join us for an interactive online session on November 15th.

Have you ever struggled with other students' or colleagues' styles of working? Have you wondered why some people seem to be more direct than others, some don’t seem to be interested in socialising, or perhaps others are more relaxed about deadlines? Culture, and not only the national aspect of it, plays a significant role in how we learn to communicate and collaborate. Adjusting to cultural communication norms is more about shared values and expectations than speaking the same language. It requires a specific set of awareness, attitudes, and skills.
Join our workshop to:
- Discuss cultural preferences for working.
- Develop self-awareness of your working preferences.
- Learn strategies for developing the right skills that will help you develop cultural intelligence.

In today's rapidly changing world, we need a new mindset and specific skills to navigate new challenges caused by disruption. This workshop will address the qualities needed to thrive in 'the new normal'—a landscape defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). The secret is to turn challenges into opportunities, but how?
Join our workshop to:
- Gain a clear understanding of what VUCA is and explore practical ways to leverage it to your advantage.
- Identify the core skills necessary to navigate the VUCA environment successfully.
- Develop a practical plan tailored to your own growth and adaptation in this in this dynamic environment.
Learn how to navigate the complexities of today's world - join us for an interactive online session on 1st November.

Technical skills are a must-have, but a new skillset is emerging when it comes to finding the right candidate for employment. Those harder to teach and quantify skills, the so called soft or interpersonal skills, have become critical in the recruitment process of global companies and are tested at various stages of job applications.
In this workshop, you will reflect on:
- What are soft skills and why you need them?
- How do you know which ones you have?
- How can you demonstrate them to your future employers?
- How to develop them?

Diversity, in its various dimensions, has been firmly established as a key driver of innovation. However, creating inclusive environments to harness the power of diversity requires preparation. Whether we are aware of it or not, bias towards individuals who are different from us is inherent. Understanding the origins of bias and how to outsmart them is the crucial first step toward fostering a more inclusive space at Cambridge.
Join our workshop to:
- Explore the nature of biases.
- Learn about the origins of stereotypes.
- Discover strategies to outsmart bias.

So you’ve mastered presenting to get your message across effectively...
But what if we told you that there was no guarantee that this message would work across different cultures?
There are different aspects you have to take into consideration when preparing to address diverse audiences, such as how they want to be persuaded, the appropriate style of the language to use and how to gain professional credibility in their eyes.
In our interactive session, we will share tools and techniques that will allow you to adapt your content and delivery style to the different needs and expectations of the diverse teams in the modern workplace.
You will find out how to:
• Analyse your audience; • Structure your presentation in an easy-to-follow way; • Adapt your content (language, references, examples, types of evidence, visuals) to communicate your message to a diverse audience; • Use your voice to help your audience better understand the content and follow it with ease.
Join this session to find out how to adapt your presentation style to be a more effective pre-senter in a culturally diverse work environment.
Further information: This course will be led by Gosia Syta. A brief bio can be found under the Trainer header below.
In today's competitive landscape for future engineers, technical skills alone won't make you stand out. Recruiters now prioritise 'soft' skills, such as collaboration, communication, time management, and resilience. These skills are challenging to teach and showcase.
Join our workshop to:
- Understand what soft skills are and why they matter during your time at Cambridge University and in your future career.
- Learn how to recognize your unique soft skills and effectively present them to future employers and within the academic context.
- Gain practical guidance on leveraging your strengths and improving areas of development in soft skills.
Unlock the potential of your soft skills to excel both at Cambridge University and in your future engineering career and join us for an interactive online session on 25th October.

“Global mindset,” “cultural intelligence,” “intercultural competence” … no matter how you want to call the skills that are necessary to successfully interact with people who might not see the world like you due to culture, geography, background, age or other factors, they are paramount in the industry.
Engineers need to be experts in their field (hard technical skills) but without the ability to influence, negotiate, build trust, lead, communicate ideas to different audiences (soft skills, also referred to as power skills in a recent report), projects have a much smaller chance of succeeding. When in an intercultural setting, have you ever struggled with your peers’ style of communication, wondered why some people seem to use more formal language, be more direct than others or perhaps less flexible with time than you are accustomed to? Culture plays a big part in how we communicate and enhancing communication is so much more than choosing to speak the same language.
In addition, remote learning mode brings further complications to the equation. The challenges of video conferencing such as the ‘zoom fatigue,’ the caveats of written communication (emails or text messages), or practicalities of working together across different time zones, add some extra pressure on the already vulnerable intercultural communication.
Do you think your future career opportunities are solely determined by luck and being in the right place at the right time? Think again! Learning the art of strategic networking is one of the most crucial factors in shaping your career. It’s never too early (or too late) to start!
Join our workshop to:
- Master the optimal mindset for increasing your 'luck' through relationship building.
- Explore various strategies for growing and maintaining a powerful network.
- Create a personalized plan for elevating your networking game to the next level.

Did you know that long before we developed languages, humans relied exclusively on non-verbal signals to understand each other? Even today, our unconscious brains are finely tuned to these cues, shaping our first impressions within seconds. Whether you're presenting, interviewing for a job, or working in a team, becoming aware of how you come across can be the key to success.
Join our workshop to:
- Gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of non-verbal communication.
- Explore how non-verbal cues vary across cultures and discuss different preferences.
- Discover the art of using body language to project confidence, build rapport, and increase your presence-both in physical and virtual interactions.

Join our workshop to:
- Delve into the importance of psychological safety and rapport building.
- Learn techniques to foster trust and connection among team members in a virtual setting.
- Explore the intercultural aspects of remote collaboration, as diverse teams often encounter unique communication and cultural challenges.
