This seminar focuses on emotions, communication, workplace relationships, and all their “close companions,” such as misunderstandings and emotional dynamics.

Participants will explore how emotions influence communication, how professional relationships are influenced by our emotions and communication, and how everyday interactions can foster collaboration or create tension in the workplace.

The seminar combines reflection, practical examples, and discussion, with attention to different cultural perspectives.

Date of the event: 16 June | 15 - 16:30 CET

Registration deadline: 14 June 2026

From May 18–22, 2026, 7 master’s students from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu took part in the international BIP “AI Pedagogy & Well-being” hosted by University of Jyväskylä. 🌍✨

Together with students, researchers, and educators from across Europe, they explored the future of education in the age of AI, focusing on digital well-being, innovation, and the human values that technology can never replace: empathy, creativity, ethics, and authentic connection. 🤖💡❤️

Our students stood out through active participation, international collaboration, and interdisciplinary teamwork, while lecturer dr. Alina Georgeta Mag contributed with the topic: “Teaching Students to Stay Human in the Age of AI.”

ULBS Around the World 🌍✨

One of the most special moments of this year’s International Week was a workshop created entirely by our international students, who brought pieces of home to ULBS by presenting their countries, cultures, traditions, languages, and personal experiences.

Through every presentation, conversation, and shared story, our students reminded us how valuable diversity and cultural exchange truly are within our university community. We are incredibly proud to have such involved, passionate, and dedicated students who continuously contribute to making ULBS a more open, vibrant, and internationally connected place. 🤍

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared a part of their world with us. 🌎

Just some of the many beautiful moments shared with our incredible International Week 2026 groups. 🌍🤍

From discovering the stories hidden within Sibiu’s streets during our city tour, to exploring Bran Castle together, participating in workshops at the University Library, sharing knowledge through lectures and academic exchanges, and learning Romanian side by side during our language workshop — every moment became part of an experience built on connection, curiosity, friendship, and cultural exchange. ✨

What makes International Week truly special is not only the academic collaboration, but also the people behind it: the conversations between activities, the shared laughter, the new perspectives, and the meaningful bonds created throughout the week.

We are deeply grateful to all our participants, professors, students, colleagues, volunteers, and partners who contributed to making this edition of iWeek such a memorable and inspiring one. Thank you for bringing your energy, ideas, openness, and enthusiasm to Sibiu — and for becoming part of our international community. 🌎💫
