This guide has been developed by a partnership of former youth workers active in international and intercultural projects. After moving to the labor market, they recognized a competence gap in the field of intercultural communication skills among business people. Typically, progress towards the negotiation of economically beneficial contracts was often frustrated by mistakes in communication and a failure to understand the different cultures of trading partners. This was visible in many countries. Seeing this, the project team decided to prepare a guide and share practical knowledge and experience with business representatives.
