Intercultural trainings for various groups |
|
|
As a result of his books, Jacob Vossestein is frequently asked as a speaker for congresses and seminars on various issues, usually business-oriented. Among such lectures and discussions were a business congres in Puerto Rico, a migrant congres in New Zealand as well as events in various European countries. Focuissing on this culturally extremely varied continent, he also executes training programmes and lecturing on European cultural differences. Such differences may be less striking than those between the Netherlands and e.g. Nigeria or Singapore, but exactly therefore they can be more unexpected and puzzling.
