What does intercultural mean?

 

Being intercultural is a key to living a meaningful life in the current and future world.

Being intercultural is about knowing how human diversity affects one’s identity development, work competence, and life itself. Diversity is all around us. It encompasses both local and global diversity.

Why does the Helix model work?

Interculturalist's approach is based on an innovative and theoretically-sound framework that we call the Interculturalist Helix Model™. It is a comprehensive learning methodology designed to develop intercultural leadership and build intercultural capacity.

The Interculturalist Helix Model™ Components:

  • Intercultural Leadership Development is a leadership development process grounded in current and cutting edge theories on developing intercultural leadership skills.
  • Intercultural Learning Helix is a visual illustration of the learning path you take. The learning occurs over time, in a non-straight manner. It is a helix-like path, that is rich and complex.  
  • Module Menu is a collection of learning units (modules) that are available to you. We will work with you to select a customized set of modules from the menu to meet your unique needs.
  • Module Providers are the individuals and groups that are experts on specific topics. They are available to provide specialized learning activities, presentations, and other forms of experiences depending on your needs.
  • Processing Time is the time between module sessions, where you are expected to process your learning through guided reflection. This processing time significantly increases the transfer of your learning into your own life and work context.
  • Lab Time is the time between module sessions, where you are expected to engage in real-life learning experiences, explorations, and experiments.
