SIETAR Europa’s 18th annual congress: about the latest research and best practices among international companies as well as NGO groups working across cultures, engaging with new trends in the intercultural domain
Seeking to understand the transition to a new virtual world and a new Europe, the organizer invites participants to engage with new trends in the intercultural domain and acquire new skills to focus on current developments in the world that affect our everyday contact with virtual realities. The presentations, workshops and film festival will examine how these new virtual worlds influence our experiences and expectations.
Furthermore, the congress will ask whether these new forces are levelling and eroding our cultural heritage, and/or are we generating a new culture that we are internalizing into virtual worlds.
Along with a wide range of presentations on intercultural topics, two plenary sessions will be held:
1. The Crisis in Multiculturalism in Europe: What is Our Role?
2. Culture, Interculturalists and Technology.
The SIETAR Europa congresses have always served as a forum for interculturalists to come together and share their knowledge, insights, and questions with other members of the intercultural field. Members of SIETAR Europa represent a wide range of professions and disciplines, sharing interest in deepening the understanding of cultures, increasing intercultural competence and fostering culturally respectful and inclusive ways of making the world a better place.
More than 250 participants from Europe, USA, Asia, and the Young SIETAR, as well as trainers and researchers from all over the world are expected to take part. Membership in SIETAR is not required for attendance and participation.
