Description

The Cross-Cultural Dialogue mat is a unique learning aid for learning about cross-cultural themes in a professional context, through interactive discussion.

The premise is that adults retain information best when they have been able to engage in dialogue.

The Cross-Cultural Dialogue Mat aims to develop cross-cultural competence by:

1. Engaging session participants in a structured discussion about what culture is, and why it is important for their work.
2. Leading them through short case-studies on presentation, meetings, negotiation, leadership, teams and trust.
3. Getting them to apply the learning to their real-life work situation, and commit to making some personal changes.

Participants work in teams of four, led by a trainer or facilitator. Sessions can last from half a day when run with very little trainer intervention, or can be integrated into a one or two day cultural training programme led by an experienced guide.

The creation of the mat involved trials with a client focus group to ensure relevance to the real-life internal and external global challenges faced by organisations.

It is ideal for:

1. Organisations that need to get a message about working successfully across cultures to very large numbers, and wish to do a lot of this with internal trainers.
2. Cross-cultural trainers licensed to use the Lewis Model, or wishing to be licensed through one of our Train the Trainer courses.
3. Organisations who wish to add an extra dynamic to existing or potential training courses run by Richard Lewis Communications or one of our partners.
