Content

In this block students learn the skills they need as a junior communications professional in the role of the facilitator in the context of intercultural communication. It is about:
• Facilitating to stimulate interaction between people and groups (in an intercultural
context).
• Using different facilitation techniques and tools when dealing with multicultural groups.
• Giving intercultural sensitive advice to a client (on dealing with intercultural differences).

In the advisory skills classes students are trained to stimulate interaction between people and groups in a workshop or training session on intercultural communication. The advisory skills classes are related to the lectures and seminars on Intercultural Communication and Facilitation.
