Intercultural Facilitation for Meeting, Discussion, Forum, Conversation and Workshop
When a multicultural audience is involved, a special attention to cultural difference is required to achieve the best outcome from the event such as a forum, conversation, meeting, workshop, brain storming, or world café. Research shows that diversity is closely linked to innovation and higher performance however, if it is not effectively facilitated, the power of diversity is not utilised at its best potential.
