About Understanding Cultures
- We often hear how today we live in multicultural societies, that is to say, societies consisting of people with different cultural backgrounds which leads to cultural differences. Understanding different cultures is important.
- What can be done in order to understand different cultures so that people of different cultural backgrounds understand and respect each other, learn from one another?
- These questions also relate to politics as well as to education. The earlier you learn about understanding different cultures, the better chance of success.
- Keynote speakers on understanding cultures take a closer look at topics such as these and more.
