Recent research undertaken by the British Council among young people shows that the next generation of leaders in Europe, Russia and North America are truly concerned about intercultural issues and how these are aggravated by global mobility.
Thirty-three per cent of those surveyed expressed major concern about human rights and 26 per cent cited social exclusion as a significant worry.
In response to their concerns the British Council has initiated Intercultural Navigators – a project that aims to deal with the challenges that we face in the multicultural world.
Intercultural Navigators aims to develop groups of young leaders in Europe who can easily ‘navigate’ within and between different cultures – who are aware of their own cultural backgrounds and who are able and open enough to accept, respect and understand other cultures.
To help young leaders successfully engage in these international issues two separate trainings on leadership skills and intercultural communication have been organized in cooperation with Bilgi University Youth Studies Unit and Türkiye Uğur Böcekleri Project initiated by İzgören Akın Consultancy & Training Company.
As a part of training programme, Module 4 training is going to take place in Ankara on 25-26 July 2009 in cooperation with same institutions. Mr Umut Sav from İzgören Akın Consultancy & Training Company will be facilitating the training.
