Navigating Local Context Across Cultures – part 1
Why do capable professionals still face challenges when working internationally?
Often, the answer lies in understanding the local context. That is why we are launching a new webinar series exploring key themes in intercultural communication.
Our first session is called, When the Map Isn’t Clear: Navigating Local Context Across Cultures, and will he held in April. We will share insights and data from our trainings to highlight common patterns of misunderstanding, and how deeper contextual awareness leads to stronger collaboration in multicultural settings.
This webinar is designed for professionals who work in international partnerships—whether in NGOs, public institutions, academia, or the private sector. It is especially relevant for those who collaborate across cultures, manage cross‑border teams, support global projects, or engage directly with partners in diverse local contexts.
Join us for practical insights and tools to navigate intercultural work with greater confidence. Sign up to our newsletter to be informed about two other webinars on the same subject due in May and June.
Time: 21 April 2026 — 09:00–10:30 (Norwegian time, CET).
With Norecs Training Advisor Nadia Nardelli.
Where: We will send you the meeting link upon signup.
