Online breakfast with BALAJCZA – “Rome – a neighborhood-tour off the beaten path”

Thursday, 6 October 2022
8 am-9 am

View of Rome from Castel Sant’Angelo, Italy.

Rome is also known as the Eternal City, where eternal beauty, eternal noise and eternal traffic miraculously coexist, creating the quintessential Italian experience for foreign travelers. Everyone knows its famous landmarks (the Colosseum, the Vatican, etc.) but not many are familiar with the neighborhoods where they are located; and if asked to leave the touristy areas, most people will find themselves in uncharted territory.

In fact, Rome is divided into dozens of neighborhoods, each carrying its own identity and sense of pride and that you can’t truly know Rome until you immerse yourself in them. A true Roman’s source of pride is not the Colosseum, but their own neighborhood.

Our virtual tour will begin downtown before moving to areas of the city which you didn’t even know existed – these are the most authentically Roman places. After the tour, you will know the answers to the following questions:

  • What is the most authentic Roman neighborhood?
  • How does the vibe differ between a certain area and another?
  • Who is a ‘coatto’ and how does he differ from a ‘pariolino’?
  • Why do some districts have a strong political connotation?
  • Where can you find the best food in the city?

Seeing Italy’s capital from this perspective can shed some light on cultural, social, historical, political and economical differences within the Eternal City and the country itself.

Ci vediamo a Roma!

Learn about Rome from:

Cristiano Berta – a linguist, sommelier, ski instructor and mountain lover. An Italian from Piedmont with extensive international experience. He grew up in Germany, studied in Italy, and worked in Denmark, Norway, Canada, and Switzerland.

On-line workshop with BALAJCZA – “Effective online meetings – what to pay attention to when planning a meeting in a cross-cultural environment”

Tuesday, 19 July 2022
11 am-12 pm

Business meetings in a cross-cultural environment present quite a few challenges. The way a meeting is conducted in Japan is different than in Brazil, for example. Communication styles vary from culture to culture, as do ideas about authority and hierarchy, which only increases the risk of misunderstanding between members of different cultures during business meetings. Therefore, online meetings in a cross-cultural environment require a special approach and adequate preparation. When hosting a meeting with people from different cultures, consider the different needs and approaches of your colleagues.

If online conferencing with people from different cultures is part of your everyday life, I invite you to our upcoming meeting. We will talk about the impact of cultural diversity on business meetings.

During the meeting you will find out:

  • How does cultural diversity affect business meetings?
  • What challenges can arise when meeting people from different cultures online and how do you deal with them?
  • How do different communication styles affect the meeting?
  • Representatives of which cultures conduct meetings according to the agenda?
  • Is small talk always welcome to start an online meeting?
  • How do different cultures approach time?
  • Do authority and hierarchy influence the meeting?
  • How can you prepare well for an online meeting?

Different cultures’ approaches to the concept of time will be discussed by:
