International virtual projects allow students to work in international teams, develop competencies, and gain indispensible references. Here's two unique virtual project for DOBA students.
This spring, we are organising international virtual projects with our partners from Belgium, the Netherlands, Latvia and South Africa, with two being available to DOBA Business School students free of charge. These projects provide an international experience to students who are unable to study or experience work placement abroad for a longer period of time. They are all implemented in English language.
The advantages of virtual projects for students:
Would you like to experience what it is like working in an international team and learn how to communicate even better in a virtual team with members coming from different countries? Would you like to provide your employer with a reference stating that you are able to communicate in an intercultural virtual team? If so, the Virtual Communication Across Cultures project is the right opportunity for you.
Well-developed intercultural competencies are essential for working in a global world. Do you sense differences across cultures and know how to react correspondingly? We are setting up a playground for intercultural communication and working on case studies.
When? From 23 March to 2 April
What? The importance of intercultural competencies for employment and success in the workplace, the hidden meaning of words, direct and indirect communication, cultural connotation, communication styles, constructive solving of intercultural conflicts, etc.
Who? Students of NHL Stenden University (campuses in the Netherlands, Qatar, South Africa, Bali, Thailand), students of DOBA Business School (Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia).

Virtual, with an introductory get-to-know meeting, 4 lectures by the best lecturers in intercultural communication (Slovenia, England, the Netherlands, and Russia), with unique case studies, establishing connections with international students in the Blackboard virtual environment, and the final virtual meeting with team presentations and a panel by all four lecturers.
“Thank you for this opportunity. Working in an intercultural but at the same time also virtual team is inspiring. It was an amazing experience which I will be able to use at work. The participation in this project has undoubtedly exceeded all my expectations.'
Do you like innovations and new challenges? Can you imagine working in an international and interdisciplinary team which creates a new solution for waste management within 24 hours?
