Seminar on Intercultural Marriages
I married a foreigner !
Maybe neither one of you in your relationship are originally Swiss. Or maybe you are Swiss but you do not speak the other’s language. Do you come from different cultures or even from different continents? Or perhaps you are single and considering an intercultural relationship?
To better understand the situation and to bring the best out of the relationship, we are offering a day-seminar for intercultural marriages and relationships. Growing together as a couple from different backgrounds is certainly possible, but there are many obstacles to overcome. You experience tensions that others from the same origins do not know.
You will discover:
- A better understanding of cultures
- The most common dangers and how to deal with them
- Tips for parenting in an intercultural context
- Practical ways to communicate
- The meaning and influence of family roots
- Ideas on how to improve your relationship
