Dear All,
Please find herewith the outline that Sandra sent. Due to the time constraint let us keep the call open for one week. So the call for contributors closes on 19 November. The email needs to be sent out to the RALO chairs
and Co-chairs. I added to the announcement the dry run that we are going to have on 24 November.
Kind regards
Hadia
Intercultural At-Large virtual Workshop (29 November 2021):
What you need to know when working in an intercultural organisation?
Call for contributors!
Working within ICANN can be challenging, for staff as well as for the numerous volunteers that form this international organisation. Collaboration across the globe and over various time zones, the different perspectives
you have whether you participate as an employee or as a volunteer and last but not least often it is the lack of understanding for each other’s cultulet ral background and behaviour which are a source for conflicts.
The good aspect is, that the ICANN community has all the sources to overcome intercultural misunderstandings, we just have to talk and to listen to each other.
We would like to start a series of interactive workshop,
addressing the worldwide At-Large Community and
helping us to understand each other’s challenges. We will explore the “secrets” of our different cultures on some dedicated examples such as:
1.
Verbal communication (speed, tone, irony, volume)
2.
The art of small talk
3.
Time sensitivity
4.
How to dress
5.
Eating manners
6.
What is expected from a community leader?
7.
How work hierarchies in your country and which effect they have at your performance at ICANN?
… just to name a few
We will start the series with a topic related to communication - something that we possibly have re-fresh
when we meet in person again - hopefully soon!
On 29 November at 13:00 UTC “The Art of Small Talk”
Questions to be discussed are inter alia:
-
What are do and don’ts in a small talk?
-
Which topics you should never touch?
-
How important, or less important, is small talk in a region for building trust or just as am matter of politeness?
-
How sensitive is a culture with regard to speed, tone, irony, volume?
-
How do you approach a person you would like to get to know?
We need you!
Let us know about your regional traditions, rules and behaviours, and try to cover a region not only your
specific country. You talk shall be short while and creative. They can include for instance slides, videos, cartoons …
Please sign up until 19 November if you could share your experience and provide input on
above questions. We shall have a dry run for the webinar on 24 November at 19:00 UTC.
Ideally, we find 1-2 colleagues per region. Input shall not be longer than 10 min in addition to 10 min
Q&A. Please be prepared to keep on the camera for the entire meeting.
If this initial workshop is a success, we will continue with this series in 2022 on the other topics and
introduce the format to the wider ICANN Community.
