European Institute for Intercultural Development

A small, warm moment ✨
While listening to this episode of the Intercultural Toolbox Podcast, which a training colleague shared with me.

I was genuinely touched to hear EIFID mentioned as one of the places where *Train the Intercultural Trainer* programs are happening. It was a gentle reminder of how meaningful it is when intercultural learning lives beyond programs and labels — and becomes something people naturally refer to, share, and build on together.

If you’re curious about starting intercultural work - from a very human perspective, this episode is worth a quiet listen 🎧

⭐ Warsztat online (PL): Relokacja jako rytuał przejścia – między stratą a odrodzeniem

Po relokacji często wszystko wygląda „w porządku” z zewnątrz.
Nowe miejsce, nowe obowiązki, codzienność jakoś się układa.
A jednak wiele osób doświadcza jednego, bardzo konkretnego problemu: poczucia bycia pomiędzy – bez pełnego zakorzenienia, bez poczucia przynależności.

Ten warsztat powstał właśnie z takich doświadczeń.

Podczas spotkania Sylwia Jankowska zaprosi uczestników do spojrzenia na relokację nie jako na logistyczną zmianę, ale jako rytuał przejścia – proces, który naturalnie łączy stratę z możliwością odrodzenia i nowego sensu.

🕒 17:30-20:00
📍 Online i bezpłatnie
👉 Warsztat jest skierowany do osób z doświadczeniem relokacji oraz do tych, którzy pracują z osobami w procesie zmiany.

What makes relocation so emotionally complex❓
Is it the fact that every transition holds three invisible stages: separation, liminality, and renewal — the essence of a rite of passage? Join us to explore how to navigate these stages consciously, with reflection and balance.

Every relocation carries both loss and potential. It’s not just a change of address — it’s a transformation that reshapes our sense of home and belonging.

On 26 November, EIFID invites you to a reflective and experiential free online workshop led by Sylwia Jankowska, a participant of our Train the Intercultural Trainer program.

Together we’ll explore how relocation can become a rite of passage — a bridge between what was and what’s emerging.

In business, the mix of individual choices and collective voices shapes how companies operate. Firms from individualistic cultures value innovation and personal success, while those from collectivist cultures emphasize teamwork and group harmony.

As businesses become more global, they're blending these approaches to enhance innovation and teamwork. How do you see this influencing today’s workplaces? Share your thoughts in the comments.
