Content

Intercultural and Professional Skills in Business (IPS2) aims to develop students’ competencies of relationship management and self-management through two paths of the learning journey. 
 
During the first path of the IPS2 learning journey, students work in teams to develop and deliver a professional workshop to train peers. The workshop is planned and organized based on students’ different training needs related to intercultural competence. During the second path of the IPS2 learning journey, students work individually to develop a personal intercultural learning plan for either their year-abroad or exchange to IBS.  
   
IPS2 is related to SDG 4 (Quality education) and Global Mindset. During this module, students embrace SDG target 4.5 (Eliminate all discrimination in education) and develop a global mindset by enhancing intercultural competence and sensitivity, facilitating diversity and inclusion, addressing discrimination and stereotypes, and providing intercultural competence training to peers.
