Developing intercultural trainin

An interesting overview that will help me devise my own courses. The presentation of information and ideas was very good, entertaining and easy to follow.

A.B, Germany

A valuable insight into ways of dealing with intercultural issues in the training environment. I particularly enjoyed experiencing the activities used in intercultural training. I also thought the practical exercises (such as developing a one-day training course) were very useful. I really liked the “doing” activities.

R.U, UK

I have found the course useful, interesting and there are a great number of elements, which I can incorporate into intercultural coaching. I thought I was pretty much aware of other cultures, but in fact, I have learnt (again) that culture is always evolving and perhaps I should not be so hasty in my perceptions.

B.SC, UK

I very much enjoyed the “feel” of the week: the way the days were run. I have had time now to reread a lot of the material. Plenty of food for thought. I don't think I wasted my time or money coming to Bath!

H. H, Germany

A good insight into intercultural training; I have learnt how to use materials and have a good idea how to design courses.

P.A, Italy

I now have a good basic understanding of the leading theories in intercultural issues, good ideas for tasks and approaches for giving workshops. I was very pleased with my training. I thought the course was well organised, conducted and you all were very helpful and willing to answer questions in and outside the sessions.

M.B, Germany and US

I feel able to design an intercultural training course – which was my objective

Thanks for a really great week. There was a great atmosphere in the group

M.A, France

Exactly what I was expecting – to be able to structure information on intercultural training PLUS the idea of intercultural “learning” rather than training as well as a new insight/new ways of looking at cultural traits that I thought were well known to me.

M. K, Germany and Brazil

Great modelling of how to use participants as resources, supported by written materials for future reference. What’s immediately useful in my training courses are the cultural elements in negotiations/meetings etc. Good use of anecdotes to convey message.

List of resources – great. Key issues for values put into layman’s language.

P. C, Germany and UK

I don’t know where to start. My meetings will never be the same. Basically I won’t take anything or anyone for granted.

B. R, Italy

Many practical ideas, a better understanding of the needs and application of intercultural training. A foundation from which I can develop my own ideas.

Julia R, Germany and UK

The most important thing I gained is motivation and impetus to expand on all that I have encountered/learned. In addition to tons of information about all of the cultures within the group and a mirror on myself, and my own culture, I learned a lot about perception and how perception is so varied and influenced by myriad of things that we can’t even identify.

N.P, Germany and US

Excellent theoretical and practical course. I feel I have a good “toolkit” of skills.

R. L, Germany and UK

Overall very good course. Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I have certainly learnt a great deal and have been given plenty of new ideas.

L.HL, Spain

I gained an insight into my own culture, where I stand on certain issues. My own cultural awareness has increased considerably and I feel confident that I can introduce some of the cultural awareness materials into my own training. All in all the week went very fast and I’m sure it will have a stimulating effect on my future work.
