Multicultural education

In our educational projects designed both for experts and the general public, we strive to develop intercultural competencies of individuals and organizations in the Czech Republic. We try to work with individuals and institutions so that they help create the right environment for a functioning pluralistic society in the Czech Republic.

Diversity management (courses designed for company management and teams working in intercultural environment)

Participants learn about basic cultural values and stereotypes in various parts of the world having a major impact on the workplace, management styles, behavior, information sharing, communication and concepts of authority. Courses in diversity management:

  • Increase the adaptability of employees to culturally different working environments and therefore also the chance of attaining your business goals;
  • Develop key intercultural competencies: effective styles of management, negotiation, motivation and teamwork;
  • Teach conflict prevention and resolution of misunderstandings ensuing from different communication patterns;
  • Inspire participants to consider their own culturally determined attitudes, values and stereotypes that they bring with them to the workplace.
