Today Is World Day for Cultural Diversity

This is my day, it is a day that inspires my drive to keep going despite the day to day challenges and the heavy weight of the covid-19 to our cultural trainings and events. It is a reminder that the work we are doing is more than a business but a contribution to global peace and development. Yes it is! Research show that three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace, stability and development.

As we celebrate our cultural diversity today let's add inclusion and commit ourselves to looking at our differences as supplements and assets to a strong family. ​

We have solutions for cultural diversity and inclusion here in Rwanda

Rwanda cultural awareness
In response to cross cultural challenges faced by internationals visiting, living and working in Rwanda , Impact Route has started the first cultural awareness training in Rwanda. This seeks to help internationals in Rwanda appreciate Rwandan cultural values, perceptions and mannerisms and in turn reduce cultural shock severity while enabling them to more effectively integrate in Rwandan culture. Cultural awareness matters because our cultural values enormously influence the way we interact with people, how we build relationships and the way we approach work. cultural unpreparedness leads to misunderstand, judgment, distrust and ultimately poor relationships. 

Cultural intelligence training
In today's global economy, the ability to understand, relate well and effectively communicate with customers, partners, coworkers, reports, and supervisors from diverse cultures is one of the key competencies that people and organisations need to succeed in the growing intercultural business markets.

This course is designed to develop participants intercultural skills and give them the knowledge and skills needed to meet the global challenges today’s interconnected world presents. It opens participants minds to see and appreciate the value of cultural differences and strategies to leverage our individual differences.
