Martin Kabanda is a lecturer at the Uganda Christian University, in the Faculty of Business. He participated in the summer school in Groningen in 2016.

“I joined the summerschool to Groningen for three weeks in 2016. It was a good experience, it was very interesting, different cultures, mixing with different people from different backgrounds. You have to adjust, you have to be flexible in the wild. That’s an experience. You can’t meet people that always have the same ends, sometimes when you have to stay with others you have to somehow comply with what they are for you to move on. That is the same in real life everywhere and that is what we have to teach our students. You have to adjust a little bit and walk with them because of the intercultural differences. The Dutch are calm people, assertive but in a softer way and you have to do it with that kind of pace.”
