Did you know there was an organisation for intercultural trainers? It&#8217;s the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research and if you go to their website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sietareu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">SIETAReu.org <\/a>you&#8217;ll find lots of useful information and links for intercultural trainers there. We&#8217;ll be hearing from Matthew Hill about the importance of the biennial SIETAR conference which took place in Cracow,\u00a0 Poland at the end of September.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely trained<\/strong><br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s start the show by hearing from Matthew Hill, based in the UK, who is an intercultural trainer. I was interested to find out what that involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely Chinese<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat sort of experiences do expatriates have? Laura Dombernowsky, of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.au.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aarhus University<\/a> interviewed some of the current Chinese students studying there to find out how they were finding Denmark.\u00a0 My thanks to Laura for allowing us to feature part of her interviews. You can see the whole film on <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/0gp6047W3dY\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> with subtitles.\u00a0 Laura is currently in Bejing as part of her journalism PhD so I hope to catch her when she returns in January and hear about her experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely informed<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile I was talking with Matthew Hill, of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillnetworks.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hill Networks<\/a>, I had the impression that the business is dominated by independent freelancers so how do they find out what&#8217;s new in their field? Well one way is to attend conferences such as the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sietareu.org\/congress-2011\" target=\"_blank\"> Congress<\/a> recently held by Sietar in Poland. What benefits are there from attending?\u00a0 Matthew Hill explains what happens at the conference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely connected<\/strong><br \/>\nMatthew Hill was not just a delegate but also a presenter at the conference. His session centred on what intercultural skills you need when presenting a webinar to an intercultural audience. Of course one of the key factors is the language that you use. Matthew&#8217;s whole talk is on <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/YKygq24EUxU\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> but you can hear a <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/VF5Ge8szftc\" target=\"_blank\">snippet<\/a> on this show about the importance of language in webinars.\u00a0 One of Matthew Hill&#8217;s latest projects is a CD about managing intercultural conflict. The CD will take you through a process lasting about an hour after which you&#8217;ll end up with a plan for managing conflict. So if you&#8217;re interested in finding out more about that you should email Matthew Hill at this address, <a href=\"mailto:matthew.hill@hillnetworks.com\">matthew.hill@hillnetworks.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>Our next show will be coming to you from <a title=\"Laurent Borgmann\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laurent-borgmann.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Laurent Borgmann<\/a> in Germany on 28thOctober 2011<\/p>\n<p>The host of this show is: <a href=\"http:\/\/annefox.eu\">Anne Fox <\/a><br \/>\nEditor: Markus Scherer<br \/>\nPhoto credit: Michael Nyika on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/86931652@N00\/4193336401\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n<div><span><span><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/poddownico.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" \/> <a title=\"Download the show\" href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/podcast\/absolutely_intercultural_show_146.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podfeedico.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/absolutely-intercultural\" target=\"_blank\">Podcast-Feed<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podaboico.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=137617215&amp;s\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes-Abo<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this show we&#8217;ll be finding out about the work of intercultural trainers.
