Intercultural Training for the Arab World
Many Arab countries are currently pursuing ambitious plans. They are expanding their infrastructure, diversifying their economies, and investing heavily in education, health care, and sustainable energy. Anyone who understands the cultural backgrounds of their partners in the Arab world today can engage with them with greater confidence.
From Morocco to Oman, this region encompasses 22 countries, and they could hardly be more different. The United Arab Emirates has little in common with Tunisia. Qatar operates differently than Morocco. Lebanon, in turn, is different from Saudi Arabia. Treating the entire region as a single bloc means overlooking valuable insights that are crucial for business relationships.
You’ll gain this knowledge in our intercultural training program for the Arab world. You’ll gain insight into the cultural, political, historical, and economic contexts of the region, tailored to the specific countries and the everyday and business situations you’ll encounter.
Our interactive seminars for the Arab world will help you gain a deeper understanding of your partners’ values, their communication styles, and business customs. Through example scenarios, real-life case studies, and role-playing exercises, you’ll discover what works well in collaboration and what tends to get in the way. Using these tools, you’ll develop your own approach that can be tailored to each partner and your team.

What our satisfied customers say
The workshop considerably broadens our understanding of different cultures.The many practical exercises combined with discussions and short theoretical sections help us to internalise the topic and learn to act respectfully in a global environment. The trainer attaches great importance to an open atmosphere – we had a lot of fun!
The intercultural training was a complete success! In a company where teamwork is very important, this gave the employees important impulses and approaches to take internal communication to another level. Anna Weidlich prepared and orientated herself ideally to the employees and their field of activity.
The SchlaU School in Munich coordinates about 50 volunteers who provide tutoring to our students, many of whom come from war-torn and crisis-stricken regions. Anna Weidlich gave a keynote presentation for this group that vividly illustrated the cultural differences that can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. The presentation succeeded completely in helping them view these differences as an asset rather than a problem!
In a one-day workshop, Interkult Training gave us a very good basis for how we can work even better with our international customers. The practical examples helped us to apply what we had learnt in everyday life and improve our customer communication.
Many thanks to Ms. Li, who conveyed the material very clearly with her open and authentic manner. She was very flexible in addressing each individual real-world case and always had the right examples at the ready. We all had a lot of fun together in this relaxed atmosphere. Each of us had countless “aha moments.” We regularly apply what we learned in a practical way in our day-to-day work.
The mixture of practice and theory in the workshop was very varied and clear. Our trainer also responded to our questions during the workshop and the atmosphere was open and motivating. We can highly recommend the intercultural training.
The trainer created an open atmosphere in which the participants immediately felt at ease. What I particularly liked was the balance between theoretical knowledge and practical exercises. I can recommend this training to anyone who wants to be successful in a global world and has to deal with people from different cultures.
The workshop at InterKult was not only a lot of fun for me personally, but also opened up new perspectives for me on many levels. The knowledge was very well prepared and I particularly liked the mixture of theory and practice. Anna Weidlich is an excellent trainer who passes on her knowledge with a lot of passion.
Professional expertise meets a pleasant personality. Ms. Weidlich has understood how to make the seminar not only exciting, but also scientifically sound and remarkably empathetic. Although some participants already had previous knowledge in the field of intercultural communication, the added value was also noticeable for them. At the end of the day, all participants agreed that they would be able to implement a number of things from the seminar in their work and that the day had more than paid off.
At ExoMatter, we have a very intercultural team. We see this as a great strength that we would like to leverage even more, especially in light of our planned international expansion. The training provided by InterKult has helped us greatly by highlighting the strengths of our team and giving us concrete strategies for leveraging them even more effectively. We were very satisfied with Anna Weidlich’s positive and motivating course leadership.
