Experiences gained by participants in international work are shared. The main focus is on example situations from work with other cultures that have occurred or could occur in the participants' daily work.

• How do my own values and viewpoints influence the way I work?
• How are they perceived by my contacts in other countries?
• How does their culture influence the way they work and interact with me?
• What do we take for granted that confuses, irritates or upsets others?
