With these offers, InterCultur directly trains target groups in need of further education and also multipliers for the transfer of skills. Our intercultural learning training courses focus, for example, on a critical examination of one's own cultural background, aspects of intercultural communication, an examination of cultural values and how these influence actions or culturally determined conflict styles.

We belive that we can contribute to the network through our expertise in intercultural competence training and our educational project management efforts. We would like to provide the network with workshop participation offers as well as calls for collaboration on new project proposals. We are involved in the promotion of intercultural dialogue across Germany, the Euro-Mediterranean region and the globe and therefore would fit well into the existing network.
We would like to join the ALF Network because we believe in the joint effort for the promotion of intercultural dialogue across Germany, the Euro-Mediterranean region and the globe. We have been working closely with Goethe Institut in different projects, creating opportunities for intercultural exchange and dialog. We always try to expand our network of likeminded people and institutions to further opportunities for exchange. Our parent company AFS interkulturelle Begegnungen e.V. is already part of the network, so we would also like to join ourselves.
