INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION MATTERS
E-learning course by Rosemary Sage and Krzysztof Gorzkowski
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character.
Rosemary Sage & Krzysztof Gorzkowski
A free programme to build knowledge and competence for interacting across cultures now that research shows miscommunication is the greatest barrier to human progress.

All cultures communicate in distinct ways – with various speech patterns, etiquette, verbal and nonverbal messages. Divergences lead to confusion, mishaps and disputes.
Be a multiversalist and experience the world differently, creating a broad framework to develop competencies and cope with challenges.

The programme is designed for all learning styles, with a book (12 chapter topics), videos & graphics. Tasks at internationally approved levels 2-8 can be chosen to implement content.
