Interior Room Design<br />
The arrival of the guests is a particularly sensitive phase. Besides other important<br />
issues, such as the presence of a person who welcomes the guest and<br />
provides relevant information or organisational features such as booking of<br />
hotel accommodation, refreshments etc., the interior design of a room, in<br />
which guests and hosts meet for the first time, is of great importance.<br />
As already mentioned above, it should not be taken for granted that guests<br />
speak the language of the host country. Organisers should therefore ensure<br />
that the language(s) of the guests, are visibly displayed. Welcome packages,<br />
presentations, name tags, project information, details of any sort should be<br />
present in all guest languages.<br />

Name tags could bear the flag of the guests’ home countries.<br />
PowerPoint slides should always include the guests’ language(s). Hence as<br />
little text as possible, but in translated form.<br />
If profiles of the participants were created beforehand, these could already<br />
be fixed to the notice board in the room.<br />
If there is a room in which the group regularly meets, (e.g. lounge, dining<br />
hall, canteen,…) then it would be worthwhile to provide a pin board for<br />
information, program changes etc. in this room.<br />
Subject/speech cards on the tables may provide conversation incentives.<br />
All possibilities of interior room design should be used, which will prepare<br />
the group for the time spent together.
