Why use it?

Why use the cross cultural dialogue mat?

The dialogue mat is a way of facilitating workshops and training programmes in a way that helps people retain the learning.

It is a versatile tool that can be used in any number of working environments.

It is a simple and effective tool for people wanting to raise intercultural awareness in a fun way and with minimum time available.

It can be used as an informal way of getting culturally diverse groups to get to know each other and to learn to work well together.

With large groups, numerous mats can be used whilst retaining all the benefits of small group working.

The mat uses the Lewis cultural model developed by and can be used with the Culture Active Assessment and Online Resource
