Are you aware of the working culture that surrounds you? Do you appreciate it or would you change it if you could? Do you notice that you have an impact on this culture, too?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely structured:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe hear about different email cultures and discover that yes \u2013 your email may show your personal writing style \u2013 but that your email also says a lot about the working culture of your company or your institution. Our interviewees fill us in on their opinions regarding the perfect email. We learn that signals which indicate whether the message is well structured and can easily be read and dealt with are quite important and that preference is often given to those messages which have a &#8220;speaking&#8221; subject line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely international:<\/strong><br \/>\nDifferent working cultures in face-to-face teamwork are explored. Jean Lennox of the <a title=\"Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hs-niederrhein.de\/index.php?id=586&amp;L=6\" target=\"_blank\">University of Applied Sciences in M\u00f6nchengladbach<\/a>, Germany, reports about an international excursion with university students to Posnan, Poland, which confronts them with the difficulties of working in groups of European students from various countries. We learn that intercultural tests of what we expect of the working cultures of other countries can bring up interesting results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely mobile:<\/strong><br \/>\nNora M\u00fcller, who is going to the Netherlands for her practical training, gives us some insights into her preparations for her stay abroad and tells us that she believes that going to a neighboring country in Europe is still a big step.<br \/>\nDr. Cruickshank from Scotland and Clementina Poposka from Macedonia came to Germany as lecturers under the \u201cteaching staff mobility\u201d program. We get to hear what they hope to gain from their academic mobility and in which way universities in their home countries differ from what they experienced during their visit.<\/p>\n<p>The next show will be coming to you on 19 September from <a title=\"Anne Fox\" href=\"http:\/\/eduspaces.net\/annef\/weblog\" target=\"_blank\">Anne Fox<\/a> in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>So long\u2026stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p>The host of this show is: <a title=\"Laurent Borgmann\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laurent-borgmann.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Laurent Borgmann<\/a><br \/>\nAssistant Editor: Jan Warnecke<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"EN-US;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Calibri;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/poddownico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a title=\"Download the show\" href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/podcast\/absolutely_intercultural_show_065.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podfeedico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/absolutely-intercultural\" target=\"_blank\">Podcast-Feed<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podaboico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=137617215&amp;s\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes-Abo<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s show, we put our emphasis on working cultures, both, in digital work contexts and in face-to-face team work.
