January 2001

During the past months the main goal was finishing the ‚Handbook Intercultural Competence‘ in it’s original German version, improving the concepts for the main courses (half-day and full-day seminar), preparing lectures, articles and media-prestations and visiting professionals in Switzerland and abroad.

By the end of december 2000 the last corrections in the ‚Handbook Intercultural Competence’ are completed; at the moment it is in circulation at the publishers house and its publication is planned for mid 2001.

I received a very good feedback on the course-parts I have presented so far - like with many tasks, the time-factor plays an important role to build a flawless product! Depending on negotiations with interested clients I expect to hold the first main courses during mid 2001 in the German-speaking part of Switzerland; the English courses and lectures are planned for 2002/03 as well as the English edition of the ‚Handbook Intercultural Competence’.
