Intercultural competence is more crucial today than ever before. In internationally operating companies, non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations as well as on the political level. This strength combined with a sound professional qualification is the basis for your success. Whether as an executive, project manager or expert. Because the shaping of the future depends on successful communication. And successful communication requires the ability to think outside the box.

With the development and deepening of your intercultural skills in the areas of communication, moderation and conflict management, marketing, personnel management and organizational management. From the theoretical basics to the practical implementation.
