“Beyond the Suitcases”: Culture Shock and New Beginnings

Moving to a new place (especially from another country) always involves four emotional stages: from the initial “honeymoon” phase to the shock of adjusting. In this first session, we’ll explore how to navigate these emotions, how to avoid the trap of isolating yourself in your room, and how to decipher local cultural norms.

We’ll wrap up the meeting with a helpful checklist for your first 30 days in the new city, detailing everything the Unicaland staff can help you with.
