Facilitation for the cross-cultural group
In this globalization era, in Japan or any place in the world, the demand of facilitation for the cross-cultural group is rapidly increasing.
Facilitation is originally to enhance engagement in diverse groups, and recently, group context is getting more diverse and complicated. Cross-cultural means various differences, not only counties or language, but also industry background, community culture, and individual uniqueness. Facilitators need to handle the difficult situation and complicated context in inclusive and interactive manners.
We are so experienced to facilitate the cross-cultural groups. And we have plenty of professional partner facilitators who’re really passionate to bridge the diverse people.
