Across the Cultural Divide

Bridging Ethnic Communication Gaps: 1/2 day cultural workshop

Old blobeIn the modern world, people move from one country to another, from one language environment to another and from one culture to another. It is assumed that when people enter a new country, they will make an effort to assimilate by learning and accepting the local culture and language.

Unfortunately, moving to another country is a lot harder than what people who have never done it might consider. Immigration is full of challenges and frustrations for newcomers and locals alike.

In a multicultural world with a large migrant population, we are facing challenges with diversity. Migrants do not assimilate as well as they could do. They tend to keep to their own community, socialize within their ethnic group at work, do business within their trusted cultural circle and keep themselves at various levels of isolation from “the locals”.

The locals, on the other hand, do exactly the same.

This divide between “locals” and “migrants” is highly undesirable for society and the government system. Fortunately, it can be addressed by creating an understanding between the two and recognizing the great advantages that cultural fusion brings with it.
