INTERCULTURAL NAVIGATORS

“Intercultural Navigators” is the British Council project that aims to deal with the challenges that we face in the multicultural and globalized world and promotes the idea of intercultural dialogue.  

“Intercultural Navigators” provides possibility for future leaders in Europe to deepen the knowledge how to easily ‘navigate’ within and between different cultures – in order to be aware of their own cultural backgrounds and being able and open enough to accept, respect and understand other cultures.

22 ‘Intercultural navigators’ from Latvia were selected and took part in the project’s training programme. After the training ‘navigators’ (are using) use their gained skills and knowledge in order to develop their own initiatives thus making an impact on positive changes in the local, regional and international level.
