Intercultural competence is more than awareness. It takes more than „keeping it simple“. I reflect on my learning curve in working and living in environments that are different, new, strange and unfamiliar to me. Situations go from unknown to known. Let me share some of my observations of my personal learning process.

Multicultural competence
What is multicultural competence? Is it the ability to create meaning in communication? Is it being able to embrace difference and yet have a sense of belonging? Competence in our ever increasing small world is of greatest importance both for a successful professional life, but also to have rich personal life.
Conflict perspectives
One of my first memories was hearing the war-chanting of the Huli men in the southern highlands of Papua New Guinea, preparing for a stand-off with another tribe. Conflict was associated with violent and minor-armed conflicts which threatened our peace in a very real way. I saw men and women injured from tribal fighting.
