Topics and Teachers
What topics will you cover?
The 6 weeks of the course are organised in 3 parts:
Part 1. The first two weeks of this CPD will introduce relevant perspectives on cultural diversity and methods of localisation and multimedia storytelling for intercultural communication. The facilitators will use case studies to illustrate challenges and opportunities in the global workplace.
Part 2. On weeks three and four participants will have the opportunity of seeing how these perspectives and methods work on the ground through the analysis of empirical evidence and case studies from diverse African and Latin American countries that are key partners for Irish organisations and entrepreneurs.
Part 3. During the last two weeks of the course, participants will assess intercultural practices both at the individual level and in the workplace and they will design an intercultural communication strategy.
