Introduction:
Intercultural learning is a life-long journey of acquiring knowledge, skills and maintaining curiosity. Developing of a non-judgemental attitude enables the identification of underlying paradigms which lead to conflict and miscommunication. Intercultural intelligence enables the recognition and appreciation of different identities and how they come into play in various situations at work.
