international mobility – UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (Dubai, abu dHabi, etc.) (1 DAY)

 

Getting used to the country

1. Understanding the United Arab Emirates
•    The UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc.): seven monarchical Emirates
•    Population: 16% Emiratis and 84% immigrants: what are the challenges?
•    A prosperous State, regional disparities and economic diversification
•    The UAE and the world: openness and search for alliance

2. Emirati values and behaviours
•    Coexistence of Bedouin values and traditions and the heritage of a dominant Anglo-Saxon system: language, education, economic liberalism
•    The cultural blend of the active population, a lever of the economic boom and a factor of distinctions
 

Getting used to socialisation patterns

3. Emirati communication styles
•    The rules of social life organised around an omnipresent and open Islam
•    The individual and his/her family, his/her clan: common interest, group priorities, stigmatisation of individualism

4. Living and socialising  in the Emirates
•    A rich Emirati population of annuitants across from an emigrated population that works?
•    Behaviour standards in public, rules and codes
•    Status of women: a complex challenge beyond prejudices
