While unconscious bias is a popular diversity training topic, unfortunately, it often offends, particularly those who hear it as an accusation of their behavior rather than learning about it as an essential human function for well-being in the worlds we live in. It’s a core piece of our mental functioning that needs to be understood, used, and managed. Schmidt’s book will help you do this and many other things as well.

Bettina Gehrke, along with her contributors and collaborators, has crafted an exceptional resource that demonstrates the application of cutting-edge intercultural research. Their handbook serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing the essentials of effective global leadership worldwide.

We are happy to inform you that a pilot version of IncluKIT is now out and available online.

IncluKIT – Inclusive Intercultural Communication Training Kit for Initial Reception of Migrants – is a training tool aimed at the whole spectrum of volunteers and professionals involved in the initial reception of newly arrived migrants, including the people who seek asylum and refugees in European countries. As a result of a partnership between academics from six universities of the FORTHEM alliance and practitioners from SIETAR Europa, SIETAR Switzerland, SIETAR UK, the SIETAR SIG Migration and diversophy®, it focuses on the analysis of mismatched expectations and misunderstandings during the migrants’ transitional phase and the ways to overcome these issues.

Join George Simons, the founder of diversophy®, and Quinten Nobbe as they, along with their team, discuss the intricacies of human interactions across borders, and share their expertise and experiences with those interested in the subject.

We are pleased to officially announce the new Hot Topic for the upcoming months –  Migration, and invite those researching or working in this field to share their experience and expertise with our readers by emailing us at ci@sietareu.org.

Ideas and articles traverse borders more effortlessly than individuals do, and they have the potential to inspire and unite people worldwide by addressing the challenges faced by migrants and creating a happier, more prosperous and harmonious global community.

Read, engage and contribute to this Hot Topic and conversation that are shaping our global society!
