Growing in Cultural Intelligence

  • Course

In today's globalized world, understanding and navigating different cultures is crucial. We'll explore what culture means using fun analogies, dive into three world views (guilt/innocence, shame/honor, fear/power), and examine how socialization shapes us. We'll discuss cultural baggage, norms, biases, and offer tips to connect cross-culturally. Join us to unlock new insights into your cultural perspective!

Growing in Cultural Intelligence is based on our celebrated course, Know Thyself, and has been tailored for a new audience. You might be interested if you are...

✅ Involved with an NGO or sending agency
✅ Working with people from around the world
✅ Part of an intercultural church
✅ In a cross-cultural marriage
✅ Hoping to connect with people from other cultures!

Growing in Cultural Intelligence can be taken as a group or an organisation. We'd be happy to discuss the best solution for you. If you'd be interested, get in touch!
