Cross Cultural Consultants' Approach to Training

Cross Cultural Consultants focuses on transformative learning. We:

  • Work with partners so that training is appropriate
  • Design & deliver participatory, interactive programs;
  • Cater for learners with diverse perspectives;
  • Draw on people's experiences, strengths & needs;
  • Build relationships to sustain learning & development;
  • Respectfully aim to extend people's frameworks, networks and capacity - not just provide information;
  • Model a range of flexible and practical tools;
  • Use current research and best practice; and
  • Acknowledge the role of culture as central to the lives of individuals and communities.

We deliver public courses and in house training for clients.

Cross Cultural Consultants' training continuously improves through exchanging ideas between different sectors, communities and contexts.

Some comments on our training:

"An excellent blend of documented facts and anecdotes worked into practical tasks."

 "I have lived in and around the Territory in small settlements and towns for years.  Your workshop would have to be the most informative, well-presented and interesting one in which I’ve participated.  Well-done."

"The best course I’ve been on in my life. Essential for all Australians."

"Excellent course. Whole country should do it."

"Thank you for the wonderful training on the weekend. I’ve had great feedback from people about how much they learnt and enjoyed it. In particular ... the open, informative and gentle manner in which the material was delivered. Many people noted that they were surprised at how engaged they felt all weekend with the discussions, participatory approach and interesting material. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you again in the future."

Some comments on our trainers:

"All the facilitators have been really, really great.  Thank you."

"I particularly liked the way the value free delivery defused useless conflicts while encouraging quality debate.  The course should be made compulsory for all as part of Australia’s commitment to reconciliation."  

"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Interesting, well presented and well planned.  Much food for further thought. Thank you."

"You made us look deep into our personal values, attitudes and beliefs in order to gain a better understanding of the cross cultural issues we should be aware of.
I am very honoured to have had the opportunity to meet, listen and learn from you, you are truly amazing people with exceptional backgrounds and experience."
