Migration: Challenge yourself!

Содержание

Since the earliest times, humanity has been on the move. Some people move in search of work or economic opportunities, to join family, or to study. Others move to escape conflict, persecution, terrorism, or human rights violations. Still others move in response to the adverse effects of climate change, natural disasters, or other environmental factors.
Today, more people than ever live in a country other than the one in which they were born. According to the IOM World Migration Report 2020, as of June 2019 the number of international migrants was estimated to be almost 272 million globally, 51 million more than in 2010. Nearly two thirds were labour migrants. International migrants comprised 3.5 per cent of the global population in 2019. This compared to 2.8 per cent in 2000 and 2.3 per cent in 1980. While many individuals migrate out of choice, many others migrate out of necessity.

"Intercultural communication refers to the communication between people from two different cultures" 
(Chen & Starosta, 1998:28)
﻿
"Intercultural communication is a symbolic, interpretive, transactional, contextual process, in which people from different cultures create shared meanings" 
(Lustig & Koester, 2007:46)
﻿
"Intercultural communication refers to the effects on communication behavior, when different cultures interact together. Hence, one way of viewing intercultural communication is as communication that unfolds in symbolic intercultural spaces" 
(Arasaratnam, 2013:48)
﻿
These three quotes describe the meaning of intercultural communication. Which of these quotes describes the idea of intercultural communication best for you? Why?
﻿
Have you been in a position where you communicated with people from other countries, with our cultural backgrounds or in another language? How did it feel for you? Was it easy? Did you realise some things that you did not understand?
﻿
Choose one country where you would like to travel or use the Country-wheel to get a random country. Now, open the cross cultural checklist that you find in the added material below and try to answer the questions. There is no right or wrong!
