Cross-cultural Topic Tasters

Does red always mean danger?	What did you mean by that?	Does 'yes' always mean yes?	How many greens does it take to find the way?	What shape is your time?
Eye contact	How close is actually comfortable?	A firm handshake?	Where the future is backward	Is it rude to stare?
Is punctuality so important?	*Are you really* listening?**	Where 'yes' means 'no' (probably)	Don't ask me outright!	The speed of familiarity
Religious ceremonies	Translating humour	Getting to know you	Inuit snow scenes	Please don't show me your feet
Taking French leave	Please don't ask to shake my hand	Dangerous gestures	Taboos	The dance of business

What are topic tasters?

These are short sessions lasting between 30 minutes and one hour. Topic tasters explore a particular aspect of culture, are participative and fun. If you want to introduce the idea of cross-cultural communication into your organisation, they are an ideal way to start. You can use topic tasters as an element of a conference or event you are running or as a lunchtime diversion.

Topics currently include:

Body language and proxemics
Ways of communicating
The meaning of colours
Rituals & Symbols
Fun with words
