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.

The address is icpw.co.uk

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
