Hello and welcome to show 278 of our podcast \u201cAbsolutely Intercultural\u201d. Our topic today is \u201cMulticultural Individuals\u201d. Have you ever asked yourself if you are multicultural? And if so, what makes you a multicultural individual? Is it because you were raised in a multicultural context? Or because you learned foreign languages and now are multilingual? Perhaps you travelled around the world and visited 5, 10, or 20 different countries? Multiculturalism<\/a> seems to be very complex, and to be a multicultural individual can be quite challenging, but also quite fascinating.
From our guests, we learn that for some individuals the path to multiculturalism starts in early in childhood if you are exposed to different languages, traditions, and religions.<\/p>\n

In our first story, \u201cabsolutely adaptable\u201d, we will listen to Esjona from Albania who is currently living and working in Germany. Esjona shares with us that she feels like a chameleon that walks between the Albanian and the German cultures and changes her skin color according to her surroundings.<\/p>\n

In our second story, \u201cabsolutely natural\u201d, we will hear from Agnes, who is half German and half Brazilian. She was born and raised in Germany, where she has lived for her whole life. Nevertheless, Agnes feels more than just German and has a deep connection with the Brazilian culture.<\/p>\n

absolutely challenged

In our last story \u201cabsolutely challenged\u201d, we will listen to Vitor from Brazil who has recently come to Germany to pursue his international career. Vitor shares with us that on his path to multiculturalism, he had to deal with many challenges \u2013 such as homesickness.<\/p>\n
