Cultural Competence

Why not view some Youtube clips from our unique library of documentary training films?  No simplistic, stereotypical, scripted scenes with actors - only genuine intercultural exchanges for case-study analysis and to trigger discussion. Our films bring the powerful smack of real-life credibility to any training room or lecture hall.
