This practical guide is a must-read for students interested in developing the attitudes, knowledge, skills, and values that foster positive relationships with people from diverse cultures, both within and outside of the workplace. It contains real-life examples from students drawn from the authors' work across different countries.

In an age of growing diversity and increasing global mobility, living and working with people from different cultural backgrounds is becoming the norm. To address this complex topic, the authors invite students to consider key questions such as: How do our cultural backgrounds influence our behavior towards others? What is intercultural competence, and how can it help students to get along in work and life? How can institutions help students to develop intercultural competence? What does it have to do with topics like prejudice, discrimination, and racism? How can intercultural competence facilitate social change and help students to succeed in their careers?

Written for students in any country and studying in any discipline, this book includes practical activities designed to help students develop intercultural competence throughout their time at college or university. It is useful for students as an autonomous learning source, or as a resource for taught courses.

Drawing on a comprehensive and rigorous knowledge of the field, the authors have written a thought-provoking analysis and a practical guide to understanding and enacting intercultural competence. I learned from and admire their ambitious vision of the significance of intercultural competence for society and for the lives and careers of their readers.
