"The Psychology of Intercultural Understanding - Foundations"

Inhalt

This two-day workshop offers a rare opportunity to profit in person from the insights of Prof. Joseph Shaules, a leading figure and best-selling author in the field of intercultural training.

1. how culture shapes the mind,
2.  the psychological impact of foreign experiences,
3.  the natural biases that make intercultural understanding difficult,
4.  and ways to deepen cultural learning.
