Cross-cultural Organizational and Financial Training
A practical guide
Do you want to engage with people from cultures other than your own in your training events? Are you looking to deliver training that is memorable and transformative? Do you want all your participants to be fully committed to the learning process? Are you new to delivering online learning and want to know more?
Trainers entering new cultures can find it difficult to build rapport, and to deliver sessions that are culturally appropriate. Participants may be not be using their first language to learn. All these questions can be challenging. However, training cross-culturally offers great opportunities to find creative ways of learning.
Cross-Cultural Organizational and Financial Training offers a clear and accessible way of designing, planning, delivering, and evaluating, when training across cultures. It suggests participatory approaches to training and learning which can be most effective cross-culturally.
With new insights from anthropology, this book offers practical tools to understand different cultural approaches to learning. It uses 10 countries as examples, to help trainers prepare for similar scenarios whether face to face or virtually. There is a toolkit of activities, and helpful responses and tips for trainers.
This is an essential guide for those working in the international development sector, and trainers from government, commercial, faith-based, and non-profit sectors.
