Communicating Across Cultures

Communicating and interacting with people from other social and cultural backgrounds plays a crucial role in determining the success or failure of any project. This is especially the case in humanitarian action, development cooperation, the promotion of human rights and peacebuilding, where diverse stakeholders are involved. You will learn how to handle these challenges in this webinar and a individual coaching session.
