User reviews

"The course gave me the opportunity – with the guidance of fantastic experts – to explore topics of cultural diversity, integration, and (cultural) conflict. I appreciated the practical approach and the focus on professional cases. Thanks to the hybrid format (on-site and via video conference) and the ability to select modules (taking into account and demonstrating my own skills), the course was easily compatible with my professional situation."

Benjamin G., entrepreneur

"In this course, I acquired a great deal of knowledge and learned methods for conflict prevention and resolution as well as team building. I can apply what I learned directly in the workplace and in my private life. The lessons are very dynamic, communicative and engaging."

Idafe P., MSc

"The course was very interesting, intensive, and practical for me. I can now understand many past events and see them from a different perspective. The lessons offered me new ways of acting and constructive behavioral patterns. My goal is to integrate as much as possible into my daily work life as well as my family life. The different nationalities in our learning group were also enriching."

Susanne S., MSc

" The intensive and, at times, very personal exchange among the participants in the individual modules was truly fascinating. The trainers' experiences in their professional environments and their exploration of current approaches to transculturality within their own immediate contexts were enriching and enlightening for our work in our organization. I also found the diverse methods used to address the various topics particularly compelling, and I especially appreciated the creative approaches. People with sufficient time, interest, and financial resources should consider attending the course, either individually or in conjunction with their organizations, educational institutions, or other employers. They will benefit greatly both personally and professionally and will also contribute to the diversity of our society today. "
