    Activity
    Globalisation has resulted in people from a myriad of cultures coming together, either virtually through the wonders of technology, or in person though more affordable air travel and through the multi-cultural workplace.

    Regardless of the reason, we find ourselves more and more in constant close contact with people of different cultures - and while experience and gut-feel allows us to work based on our similarities, do we know enough about our differences to really understand how people think and perhaps more importantly, what we can do to not offend them.

    This program introduced participants to some of the more common as well as some of the lesser known dimensions of culture in general using case-studies and role playing as well as other engaging activities.

    Beyond the traditional aspects of culture, the workshop addresses the concept of sub-cultures and the relationship between age and culture we can work more closely with those around us.
    Objective
    1. To become familiar with the dimensions of culture and how culture is differentiated
    2. To identify the subtle differences between seemingly similar cultures
    3. To identify the different meanings of everyday words and actions in different cultures
    4. To learn that different cultures exist even within cultural groups - in terms of age, for example
    5. To develop strategies for being more culturally aware and culturally intelligent
