In a globalised world there is an increase in conflict situations in which cultural affiliation plays a role, be this professional cultures, nationalities, ethnic groups, religions or value systems.
Often the cultural differences are not actually the cause of conflicts. Rather they influence the conflict process and the intensity with which it is carried out, and thus they must be taken into consideration throughout.
In our work we encounter the subject of “intercultural”- at the domestic level in conflicts between representatives from the societal majority and people with an immigration background
- in businesses that are active internationally or in the case of joint-ventures between businesses from different countries
- in ethno-political conflicts in crisis areas and post-war countries
- in the context of development collaboration and humanitarian aid
- when working with refugees domestically and abroad
