CLIC: Inter-Communication: The Melting Pot Mystery: Navigating International Cambridge new [Places] 10:00 - 12:00 Department of Material Science and Metallurgy, Goldsmiths Lecture Room 2

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.

CLIC: Inter-Communication: First impression counts new [Places] 12:00 - 14:00 CLIC online teaching

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.

This is not a webinar. This is an interactive workshop and you will be expected to contribute to the session.

To participate you must have your webcam switched on.

CLIC: Diversity Fresco new [Places] 09:30 - 12:30 Department of Engineering, CLIC 1

The Diversity Fresco is a collective intelligence workshop that allows participants to experiment with the cognitive mechanisms at work when it comes to discrimination, to discover approaches aimed at reducing it, to debate their scope and their limits, while acquiring a common vocabulary to engage in constructive dialogue and bring about a more inclusive and peaceful society.

Please follow this link for more information: https://fresquedeladiversite.org/en/

Please arrive 5-10 minutes early so the workshop can start at exactly 9.30am. There will be refreshments before and during the event and a sandwich lunch after.

CLIC: Inter-Communication: Overcoming self-doubt: Tackling imposter syndrome new [Places] 12:00 - 14:00 Department of Engineering

Imposter syndrome can affect anyone, especially in a world-renowned institution like Cambridge, where you're surrounded by talented people. If you ever feel like you're not "good enough," this session is for you. We'll explore the nature of this phenomenon, its impact on both your performance and overall well-being, and most importantly, how your brain may be sabotaging you—and what you can do about it.

Join our workshop to:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of imposter syndrome and its effects
  • Share experiences with like-minded peers
  • Learn actionable strategies to overcome self-doubt
