Predictably we ended up talking about much more than this so we will start with Lucy Fogarty, an Irish trainer based in London who has developed training that is based on cartoons. Why images I asked her?<\/p>\n<p>Then I talked to Lisa La Valle Finan in the US who had a word of warning for the young.<\/p>\n<p>And finally I talked to Brett Parry, an Aussie based in the US who was able to answer the question, what do you do on a Monday morning and much else besides.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely fun<br \/>\n<\/strong>So we\u2019ll start with Lucy Fogarty and her Culture Buff games which are absolutely fun!

I could think of no better title for this segment than absolutely intercultural! So now you know what you need to do to get a job in the intercultural field!<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely warned<br \/>\n<\/strong>In our final segment of the show I talked to another US based intercultural trainer, Lisa La Valle Finan who had some interesting observations to make about the way young people tend to approach intercultural training.
