Erasmus+ Staff Training, Italy


4-8 May 2026 at Università Carlo Cattaneo | Application deadline: 22 December 2025

The event is primarily aimed at colleagues working in:

  • International Relations Offices
  • International Student Welcome Offices
  • Student Services or Career Services with international activities

Core Objectives:

  • Increase awareness of one’s own cultural habits and attitudes
  • Improve communication between students and international staff
  • Manage complex intercultural student situations more effectively
  • Develop empathy and active listening
  • Expected Outcomes

Participants will leave with practical tools and shared insights into how culture shapes communication, belonging, and partnerships — not merely that “differences exist,” but how to notice, interpret, and navigate them with empathy and effectiveness.
