GREETINGS from cool but clear London and the ICPW team.
Our first series of three workshops in London in July ’03 were very well attended
and we think and hope enjoyed by everybody.
Participants came from European, Chinese, US and African backgrounds; the large
number of people who attended and their varied cultural and professional
backgrounds contributed significantly to an atmosphere of shared learning and
enjoyment. Many of the participants found new colleagues, formed new
connections and one or two at least are already working together.
It was clear from the feedback and new requests we are receiving that there is a
wish for more workshops of this kind. We are really excited about this as it
supports our belief in peer training and mutual support to help ‘BUILD THE PIE’
Several people have come forward, some from the workshops, to work with us at
icpw and you will no doubt hear from them soon as well.
With this in mind, we are now planning the NEXT SERIES OF WORKSHOPS; which
will take place from JUNE 07 – 13 2004, at the UNIVERSITY of HEIDELBERG,
Germany.
Series A are dedicated ‘Train the Trainer’ workshops for professionals
Series B are designed as reflective workshops for professionals of minimum 5
years experience
We invite you to visit our RECENTLY RE-DESIGNED WEBSITE which gives more
detail about these workshops as well as current plans and developments.
We are COMMITTED TO WORKING TOGETHER IN PARTNERSHIP and cooperation
with all interculturalists and welcome your ideas on the content and focus which
you feel would be interesting and valuable in future workshops and other
activities.
We are gradually beginning to think about a European wide membership committed
to the development of intercultural excellence and again welcome your thoughts
on this.
We look forward to your visit to our site and to hearing from you. And of course
we hope that we may meet on a future ICPW workshop.
With warm regard
