Key Competences at Work: Trainer's book and Learner's book

Introduction

Being culturally aware implies an ability to communicate effectively and appropriately in intercultural situations based on one’s intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes. In other words, it includes knowledge of others, knowledge of self, skills to interpret and relate to otherness and diversity, skills to discover and/or to interact, value others’ values, beliefs and behaviors and last but not least to relativize one’s self. 

Start with self-assessment of your cultural awareness and cultural understanding in general to have an overview of possible challenges.
