 I am very happy I was part of Intercultural bridging training program! Beata van Velzen showed the value of crossing bridges and inclusive collaboration through effective communication. I gained awareness of steps of adoption to new culture and importance of effective communication in international environment, like the one I work in. There was a brilliant interactive exchange, so we could navigate in intercultural interactions.

It triggers self- reflection on one's own culture roots as well as cross cultural communication challenges. It definetly the perspective on other's culture due to diverse group of participants.

 "Intercultural Communication" Very valuable training for international/ intercultural teams. My bigest take aways: we all facing the same kind of challanges regardless of our own background, emotional intelligence and communication skills are crucial to adopt to new enviorment. Learning most effective ways of communication makes the adoptation process much more smoth. Training was very interactive and the trainer created very safe and pleasant atmosphere for participants to share their expirience and valuable insights. Overall great expirinece with lots of pratical knowledge.

 Highly recommended Bea’s workshop on the intercultural bridge was accessible and insightful. The activities were interactive and creative, and her perspective as an international in the Netherlands gave depth and experience to the discussion. We learned about how to move from a monocultural to an intercultural mindset, and addressed influences in communication beyond culture—through this approach Bea created space for a broader look at how we communicate. Overall Bea is a charismatic, energetic and empathetic trainer who gave us new insights and practical tools to improve intercultural communication and development.
