8 a.m.- 9 a.m.
China is a civilization in which gestures, numbers, and colours matter more than words. The technological advances of the 21st century have changed nothing in the traditional way of communicating in the Middle Kingdom.
Non-verbal communication is still the most important. A lack of understanding of these symbols can lead to a quick deterioration of our relations with the Chinese.
Our next online breakfast “China – the language of symbols in the 21st century” will introduce you to the rich world of hidden Chinese meanings.
You will learn:
- What gifts are frowned upon in the Middle Kingdom?
- What colours can make relationships with Chinese people better or worse?
- What does the flag of the PRC symbolize?
- Which colour is for boys and which is for girls?
- What fruit should not be given to a partner, including a business partner?
- Is it appropriate to offer a bouquet of red roses?
The meeting will be held by Kamila Radzyńska – business coach, specialised in intercultural communication, member of SIETAR Polska, R&D Manager experienced in foreign trade, romanist, passionate about the Far East, and winner of the Knowledge about France Competition organised by PR III radio and France Inter.
The meeting will be held in Polish.

Communication over the Internet is fundamentally different from our everyday, real-life communication. On the Internet, we usually do not see our interlocutor, their facial expression and gestures or even hear the timbre and tone of their voice. Internet communication has developed its own characteristics and is largely governed by its own laws.
Of course, these law are controlled on an ongoing basis (for example by netiquette, which is a set of standards, responsibilities and rules of behaviour on the Internet). Nevertheless, we can safely say that both Internet communication and the relationships established on-line (private and business alike) are characterised by certain properties.
During the workshop we will learn, among others:
- what mistakes to avoid,
- what polite expressions are used,
- how to compose concise messages,
- how to take care of the technical details.
The meeting will be hosted by Ms Olga Marek-Kostrzewska, a Polish language teacher at the Lingua Polonica school, and a marketing and PR specialist by profession. She built her experience working for companies such as Benefit Systems and at numerous marketing conferences.
The meeting will be held in Polish.
