Cross-Cultural Understanding

Workshop

This workshop invites your group to actively participate in cross-cultural communication -- even if you think everyone is on the same page! Increase empathic understanding and cultural intelligence for your members. Ideal for civic organisations, companies, non-profits or community groups engaging with immigrants, refugees or minority groups.

Group Dynamics

Workshop

Build your team through a series of discussion-generating activities to highlight your members' cooperative strengths and competitive weaknesses. Great for small- to mid-size groups in need of fresh perspectives on teamwork.

Simultaneous Seminar

Workshop

Only for the free and the brave, this workshop is best described as a 'simultaneous democratic seminar'. Set aside leadership hierarchies for an afternoon, and allow group members an equal footing in pursuing their interests and passions. Discover blind spots in your organisation, root out lurking misgivings, and capitalise on untapped talent. Ideal for larger organisations with multiple departments, goals or values.
