Explore Business and Business Basics Country Guides
Mosaic Fashions Ltd
Working with Mosaic Fashions Ltd, we have developed a series of nine and two-sided Explore guides, providing staff with key cultural information on how to do better business with their partner countries. All the guides were made available to staff on their intranet as a learning resource to complement our existing programme of cross-cultural training.
Distance Learning Pack
The British Council and Youth Sport Trust’s Dreams + Teams programme
Designed in collaboration with Penny Crisfield, Apollinaire Consultancy Associates Ltd
We designed this pack to help develop the cross-cultural competence of a group of facilitators who were about to support a series workshops for the school partnerships aspect of the Dreams+Teams programme (run by the British Council and Youth Sport Trust). As the facilitators could only be released from their usual work for two days training this allowed us to expand the support we could give them. The pack contained a range of reflective and interactive exercises.
Discussing Difference Toolkit

Funded by the Prime Minister’s Initiative
A toolkit of learning/training activities designed for staff and students in Higher Education to help them improve cross-cultural exchange and learning between students of different cultural backgrounds. It contains advice and activities for academic staff and support staff and students.
