You may not have been navigating among icebergs but you may well have
been facing a situation where an exchange student’s behaviour puzzled you,
and you were only able to see the tip of the iceberg but had no idea what was
under the surface- even though you sensed that there was something.
Aims of the training:
• Come to a common understanding of what we mean when we talk about
culture.
• Accept, respect and value our differences.
• Recognize that our cultural differences influence how we communicate
with each other and with the students and families we are responsible for.
• Identify how we can effectively communicate across cultures despite the
differences that seem to divide us.
After having participated in the Training on Intercultural Communication
you will:
• Have a better understanding of differences between cultures when you are
handling support issues.
• Be better prepared to address habits and attitudes rooted in customs and
traditions that date back hundreds of years.
• See the bigger picture and not just the details.
• Be a more competent YFU guide and volunteer.
• Benefit from the training in your professional as well your private life.
• Be a wiser citizen.
The training is offered to: Experienced support volunteers - Key volunteers
involved with training of volunteers – Key volunteers involved with student
orientations.
The training will consist of presentations and cases.
