Recap: 06.11. Intercultural Awareness Session for International Students (Late Arrivals) FIT: Welcome & Orientation

On November 6, 2025, international students who arrived late or were unable to attend the Orientation Days joined our Intercultural Awareness Session as part of the FIT: Welcome & Orientation program.

The session was designed to support students in navigating their new cultural environment and to help them better understand the challenges and opportunities of intercultural experiences. Through interactive input, discussions, and shared reflections, participants explored how cultural differences influence everyday situations and communication.

Highlights of the session:

✅ Understanding cultural adaptation processes and typical challenges in a new environment

✅ Learning strategies to deal with cultural misunderstandings effectively

✅ Reflecting on personal experiences and cultural perspectives

✅ Connecting and exchanging with fellow international students

The session provided a supportive space for participants to share their experiences, gain new perspectives, and build confidence in dealing with intercultural situations. Students left with practical tools to better navigate daily life and feel more at home in their new surroundings.

Outlook

Further workshops and support offers for international students will continue throughout the semester. Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to strengthen your intercultural and professional skills.
