PRESENTATION:
The interactions between people from different countries and cultures are becoming more and more frequent in our current global societies. Communication between these people is not always fluent and effective. In fact, misunderstandings and conflicts often arise due not only to the linguistic and cultural differences, but also to factors such as the mutual lack of knowledge, the ethnocentric attitudes or the stereotypes and prejudices.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:
Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:
This subject has an eminently practical nature. However, case studies and other practical exercises will be based on the theoretical knowledge acquired through master classes and suggested readings.
We will go from theory to practice and use action and reflection methods focused on the active participation of the student. Dynamics between the student and the lecturer will be promoted with the aim of developing positive habits and attitudes and skills for idea sharing and discussing. Additionally, the student will be asked to use critical thinking to analyse himself and the surrounding world.
The student will be encouraged to recognize his own identity, get closer to others reference framework, rest importance to his personal points of view, and identify social and cultural patterns related to others behaviour and communication styles. Finally, we will work on finding cultural similarities and differences in order to develop knowledge and understanding of other ways of thinking, behaving and communicating.
