The Gulf countries are becoming an increasingly popular destination for work and migration. But while Dubai is well-known, Saudi Arabia remains a mystery to many. On one hand, it's home to Ronaldo and ambitious mega-projects; on the other, old stereotypes still persist. In this lecture, we will discuss: — Migration to the Middle East and cultural adaptation — Business communication: why fluent English might not be enough — Learning to read between the lines in a new cultural context — Cultural shock and mental health during emigration — How business takes root in unconventional cross-cultural collaborations Speaker: Milena Chernyshevskaya, a specialist in intercultural communication who lived and worked in Saudi Arabia at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
