Episode 32 - What is Intercultural Competence?
/

We often hear we should develop “intercultural competence”. But what does this mean? Is this a single quality or a range of abilities? In this episode, Joseph Shaules and Daniel Glinz dig into this buzzword. They find competing definitions and idealistic assumptions. They explore the gap between the idea of intercultural competence, and the messy reality of intercultural situations. And they discuss the transformative potential of cultural learning from the brain-mind perspective.
