In the framework of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue the purpose of the seminar was to create an opportunity to exchange views on the richness and the complexity of intercultural teams involved in the achievement of a large scientific project such as ITER. The key theme of the seminar was "Language and culture, the pillars of international projects" and after a brief introduction, the participants were split into smaller workshops that all studied an aspect of that theme. At the end of the day, a wrap up session endeavoured to summarize the learnings of this first intercultural seminar. Rather than conclusions, these reflected discussions of every workshop, but as Shawn Simpson from ITER France, who organized the event said "it is such a complex issue that raising awareness on how cultural diversity can impact the functioning of an international organization, is already a first, but very important step in acknowledging that it needs to be taken into account." And as with any "First", it implies that there will be other Intercultural Seminars to continue to learn and exchange about these issues. << return to Newsline #61 |
