Introduction to module 3
Why is understanding cultural norms key to successful integration in a new country?

Moving to a new country means more than just learning the language – it means understanding different cultures, traditions and norms.

Cultural norms guide everyday behaviour:

  • How we greet each other.
  • How we show respect.
  • How we communicate in public and private.

What’s considered polite (or impolite) when you understand these “unwritten rules”:

  • You feel more confident in social situations.
  • You avoid misunderstandings and awkward moments.
  • You build stronger relationships with locals.
  • You adapt more quickly to your new environment.
