begins with Intercultural Intelligence and is reflected in:  “a person who is truly open to and interested in other people and their ideas, capable of building relationships of trust among people. He or she is sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of another, expresses respect and positive regard for others, and is nonjudgmental. He or she is calm in situations of frustration of ambiguity and is not rigid” (Kealey and Ruben 1983). Our upbringing and cultural norms impact how we perceive and relate to the world around us, how we present and express ourselves. Understanding other cultural norms, including linguistic nuances, body language and its message, enhance interpersonal relations and intercultural interaction. Our future, in both the economic and humanistic sense, depends on the sincere desire to create effective cooperation based on mutual respect and understanding. Successful Intercultural Communication implies the ability to interact responsibly and mindfully with other-culture individuals, calling for:   authenticity a sincere desire to interact with other-culture individuals open mindedness and curiosity a tolerance for ambiguity perception of self and otherness In our trainings, we aim is to sensitize participants to their own behaviour and that of their counterpart while distancing ourselves from established stereotypes. Gradually, participants begin to perceive culture-specific signals in verbal and non-verbal communication and prepare the ground for conflict free communication.
