Well he didn\u2019t ask the question directly, but he did suggest that we take a look at the work of Elisabeth Plum who has come up with a new way of looking at intercultural differences and how to overcome them. She calls this cultural intelligence. So this show is about a new way of looking at the issue of intercultural competence.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll also be hearing from Barry Tomalin, kicking off an exciting new European project called Diversity in Europe at Work, on why human rights has become part of the cultural landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely theoretical:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy did Plum think we needed a new theory of culture? Ignoring the many aspects of diversity means you fall back on stereotypes according to Plum so how do you become culturally intelligent?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely Russian:<\/strong><br \/>\nSo how does this translate into practice?\u00a0When you meet with Russians, you should find out about Russian culture, right?\u00a0Or maybe we shouldn\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely diverse:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe idea that we shouldn\u2019t focus on just one aspect was also the theme of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teachingenglish.org.uk\/blogs\/barry-tomalin\" target=\"_blank\">Barry Tomalin\u2019s <\/a>talk to the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.icc-languages.eu\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\"> ICC <\/a>conference in Florence, Italy a couple of weeks ago. Tomalin is Director of Cultural Training at International House in London and was at the conference to present a new project called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eiworkplace.net\/training.html\" target=\"_blank\">Diversity in the\u00a0European Workplace <\/a>or DEW for short, which is preparing some exciting intercultural training materials based on critical incident methodology. Tomalin started by talking about the different aspects of diversity which you typically find in a European workplace. These he called the 7 \u2013 <em>&#8216;isms&#8217;<\/em>. Watch out for an explanation of the Somali worker mystery at the end.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The recording comes courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/cd-2006.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carl Dowse <\/a>who does intercultural training as part of his Business English courses in Germany and I hope to be talking to him in more detail about his approach in a later show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely intelligent:<\/strong><br \/>\nWell let\u2019s return to this idea of cultural intelligence. It is clear that the concept relies on the interplay of 3 factors, emotion, cognitive, action or what you feel, what you know and what you do. We hear how Elisabeth Plum explains the three factors.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think? Is this an idea that would help you in your intercultural encounters? You could let us know by leaving a comment here\u00a0If you want to find out more about cultural intelligence then go to Elisabeth Plums <a href=\"http:\/\/www.culturalintelligence.org\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a> where you can find details of her<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Cultural-Intelligence-Art-Leading-Complexity\/dp\/1904750613\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1234818542&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\"> book <\/a>and an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.culturalintelligence.org\/#post9\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> explaining the basic concepts of cultural intelligence. You may have heard Elisabeth mention that the phrase cultural intelligence is also used by a research group in the US in a slightly different way. So we will try and follow up on that so that we can see how the ideas compare. Well I hope that you are now a little more culturally intelligent. If not then you\u2019ll just have to come back for more on May 15th when Laurent Borgmann hosts the next show from Germany.<\/p>\n<p>The next show will be coming to you on\u00a015th May Germany.<\/p>\n<p>So long\u2026stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p>The host of this show is: <a href=\"http:\/\/eduspaces.net\/annef\/weblog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Anne Fox<\/a><br \/>\nEditor: Jan Warnecke<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"EN-US;\"><span style=\"small;\"><span style=\"Calibri;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/poddownico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <a title=\"Download the show\" href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/podcast\/absolutely_intercultural_show_082.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/podfeedico.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <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\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/> <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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you intelligent?\u00a0 one of our listeners, Dennis Jim Frederiksen wanted to know in February.
