Intercultural Learning
About Intercultural Learning
Today, whether at school or university, at work or at home, people from different cultural backgrounds live, learn and work together. As such, it is becoming more and more important to develop intercultural awareness skills. It is only by recognising the specific characteristics of one's own culture and of those of other cultures, and by being aware of our own cultural influences, that we can truly appreciate cultural differences and find a common medium.
