things that can happen when you bring 20 people together in one big room after not having been together in person throughout the entire pandemic?<\/p>\n<p>One answer is simple: a boost of intercultural competence, mixed with a sense of connection and personal growth. That\u2019s what the visionary leader of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/engel-&amp;-voelkers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Engel &amp; Volker\u2019s<\/a> Service Desk Department, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?keywords=tomas%20dacke&amp;origin=RICH_QUERY_SUGGESTION&amp;position=0&amp;searchId=cc3a1a40-ba9e-4173-957f-86e29eff4239&amp;sid=ZYF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tomas Dacke,<\/a> chose to offer his team at the first on-site get-together at their Hamburg headquarters. Three months ago, the city of Hamburg loosened its rules with regards to the coronavirus pandemic, and now people are allowed to come together without any legal restrictions \u2013 this allowed Tomas and EnglishBusiness to imagine a simulation experience that perfectly fitted his team\u2019s needs to have fun and connect while also learning something meaningful and valuable for their work.<\/p>\n<p>For the past two and a half years, companies have been holding their trainings and workshops in virtual settings. Online learning is powerful but employees are missing the magic that comes from personal interaction among colleagues. I had the privilege of being on the team of energised and insanely motivated trainers for this very first physical, unrestricted face-to-face simulation since the pandemic began. And guess what? It was a HUGE success!<\/p>\n<p>The Engel &amp; V\u00f6lkers Service Desk team, which includes employees from all around the world, contacted EnglishBusiness to lead an interactive cross-cultural simulation, a playful way to experience how it <em>feels <\/em>to be culturally misunderstood and then <em>feel <\/em>the relief of understanding each other. Here, \u201cculture\u201d is not meant as \u201cnationality\u201d but just \u201cthe way we do things around here\u201d. \u201cHere\u201d can be your town, your company, your rowing club.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning, it felt unusual and somehow wrong that everyone was together in close quarters after two years of not being able to do so. But after the first five minutes, everything changed, and everyone was able to relax, have fun and experience something new, all while learning something that is so very important for communication at all levels, whether in the office or on vacation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-3bb6c5b6aae479eeaeecb9184cc4bb71\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3bb6c5b6aae479eeaeecb9184cc4bb71{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3bb6c5b6aae479eeaeecb9184cc4bb71 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3bb6c5b6aae479eeaeecb9184cc4bb71 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-3bb6c5b6aae479eeaeecb9184cc4bb71 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What did we do, you ask? <\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jks4sx83-b0a45a610ea0cc60a9d3722d2e5435c2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>We separated everyone into two groups and literally created two different, totally imaginary cultures, each with its own language, gestures, mimics and rules. You heard me right: ten people learned and adopted one culture, while the other ten separately learned and adopted another culture, all within one hour!<\/p>\n<p>After that, we allowed them to interact with each other but only in short bursts. The reactions from the participants? Curiosity, intrigue, hesitation, frustration, laughter; you name it, they experienced it. After these interactions, we brought everyone back together and discussed what happened, while watching their \u201cintercultural\u201d interactions on videos that I and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lisa-wilden-22b65672\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lisa Wilden<\/a>, our lead trainer, took while running the simulation.

Everyone wanted to know more about the other culture, and they wanted to understand why the other people interacted the way they did while in the simulation. All three of the trainers, Lisa, Shaun and I, then discussed the feelings that everyone experienced while trying to interact with the other culture. The participants quickly became more aware of how cultural differences and intercultural interactions can lead to various levels of feeling and emotion. They also learned how they can take advantage of the cultural differences among themselves and apply it to their work.
