Course Code: N/A, Units: 3, The objective of this course is to give students grounding in intercultural adaptation. Living abroad, unlike visiting as a tourist, implies a cultural adaptation process. Social sciences will help us understand where we come from – this is even more relevant in a multicultural classroom. We will take time to introspect our values, socialization and cultural codes. This self-cultural-awareness will be the first step to ease cultural adaptation. It is Socrate’s “know yourself and you will know the universe and its gods.” We will then examine one’s adaptation to French daily life: the surprises, the expected, the challenges. We will wonder how it fits or not our own culture, what compromises are we going to make to adapt, and how it is enriching our own choices and views. It will take us to a deeper understanding of French society, culture, values as a whole. Finally, these skills will be applied to international management and international business negotiations. This class will therefore use the student’s close daily environment in order to test theoretical multi-disciplinary approaches such as history, sociology, ethnology or psychology in order to understand intercultural adaptation processes applied to one’s own case in personal, academic and professional settings.
