Intercultural opening for a sustainable economy in South Thuringia
Intercultural Opening (ICO) is a process designed to foster recognition of and openness to the diverse experiences and expertise within your organisation. This process enables you to effectively address current and future complex challenges within teams and organisations.
The foundation of our work is what we call Diversity Reflective Intercultural Opening. This approach integrates intercultural opening (ICO) with diversity management.
Through our consultations, trainings, support throughout the process, and further education aim to develop a more nuanced understanding of diversity. Beyond the common categorisation according to origin, gender, age, and place of birth, people are characterised by a multitude of other facets and areas of experience: Each of us gathers different experiences, acquires an individual wealth of knowledge, and develops their own ways of speaking and behaving. At the same time, we share common experiences, attitudes and skills that make us part of a group or culture, known as a collective. Our aim is to bring awareness to these often-unseen shared experiences and similarities. Only by doing so, colleagues can interact in a diverse manner and fully engage with the team's work content.
We provide structured support throughout the process, enabling you to focus on positively recognising and valuing the diversity of your employees. In doing so, we help to enhance the overall attractiveness of your organisation.
