Intercultural Competence

As a result of globalisation, different cultures will move closer and economically relations will increase. The consequence will be more dialogs, meetings and negotiations with people from other countries and cultures. For avoiding misunderstandings and for successful communication and appropriate behaviour we need Intercultural Competence. It helps to perceive and understand other rules of communication, other values and behavioural patterns. The talk will answer the following questions: What is Intercultural Competence? Why is it so important? How to learn it?
