Description
The number of business people, scientists, aid workers, diplomats, technicians, and bureaucrats who now live and work "abroad" has grown dramatically over the past 25 years. Even "at home" the multi-ethnic workforce is a commonplace. As a result the need for cross-cultural communications training is well established. Training materials and programmes to meet that need, however, are few, and this new manual should go a long way towards filling the gap. It provides more than 100 hours of practical interactive training, plus expert guidance on constructing intercultural training programmes and all the necessary material, including handouts and briefing sheets for workshop participants. Its exercises and discussion papers cover all the key issues, from nonverbal behaviour to overcoming prejudice. The manual should enable both experienced and less experienced trainers to conduct effective cross-cultural communications workshops.
It should be welcomed by all who work with people from different cultures, including management development specialists, teacher-training lecturers, trainers in health care, social and community work, police and banking, lecturers in communication, student counsellors - and indeed anyone involved in international business, aid, diplomacy, travel or tourism.
