Intercultural Competence
Dominant thinking
The task of addressing cultural differences and clashes might be simple, but it is not easy. Therefore, I will try to utilize tools of innovation in the intercultural context in an attempt to find innovative ways to address these common issues. Can you drop an egg from a tall building on solid ground without breaking it? A usual experiment in…

Body Language of Different Cultures
Why did I choose this tool? I’ve always been interested in body language, even before I started to travel the world and came in contact with so many different cultures.

Are you in the way?
Why did I choose this tool? I chose this tool based on experiences that I have personally gone through or I have seen others go through. It gives a clear picture of what happens to a participant when the trainer, perhaps knowingly or even unknowingly, shoots down the contribution of a participant. This can cause negative feelings in the participants…
