The monument you can see at the left is the monument to multiculturalism. I think it was very representative of the great importance we are giving nowadays to multiculturalism.
Intercultural competence is 'the ability of successful communication with people of other cultures. This ability can exist in someone at a young age, or may be developed and improved. The bases for a successful intercultural communication are emotional competence, together with intercultural sensitivity.' (wikipedia)
If you want to find more on the subject search for this article “Exploring Intercultural Competence: A Construct Proposal” NCOLCTL Fourth Annual Conference . Many useful information and projects have been elaborated by Alvino E. Fantini, Ph.D. School for International Training Brattleboro, Vermont.
