However, the way we relate to it depends on the cultural enviroment where we spend our daily existence. I chose to participated in this workshop hoping to learn about new facets of the subject and get as many diffrent perspectives on the topic as possible. I am happy to work and share thoughts, wishes or fears with international participants coming from all over the world, knowing that the art of intercultural communication is not only my field of study but also a modus vivendi that belongs to the profession of life in the 21th century..."
