Voices from previous participants

“As a self-employed person, the ITA was hands down the best investment I have made so far in terms of professional development. The course includes everything I wished to learn and didn’t know I needed to learn, including foundational theories of intercultural communication, activities and presentations on conflict styles, prejudice, learning styles, designing trainings, managing online trainings, etc., as well as a number of optional extra courses on topics like visualization and improv. The Academy is taught by incredibly kind and knowledgeable instructors, and you really feel their full dedication to getting you to be a fully-functional intercultural trainer in these two weeks. As a group we felt so comfortable that we were able to open up and be authentic and vulnerable, allowing us to form a very deep bond and throw all of ourselves into the learning. For anyone wanting to lead intercultural trainings, I could not recommend this course more highly, and I can’t imagine there is anything better and led with so much professionalism and heart.”

I attended the very first online ITA. The organization and execution of all tasks and activities was carried out so well that not once did I feel that the academy was conducted online in its entirety. We were introduced to different online tools and various techniques. For me, it was helpful to experience those from the receiving side so that when I use them during my own trainings I have an idea how participants may feel about them and respond to them. I attended the practice sessions of the academy. During the training, I paired up with different participants and facilitated some activities as a practice. It was a safe environment to try out new activities and it also gave me an opportunity to observe other trainee-trainers and their different facilitation styles. The trainers were wonderful, always supportive and ready with helpful feedback and tips for improving myself as a trainer. They had such a calming aura round them that I instantly felt comfortable in their presence. The schedule was intense and at times looking at the screening for long duration was exhausting as well. But there was so much to learn and so many exciting activities to participate in that it made easy to forget the tiredness and jump in into the sessions. I equally enjoyed the extra activities organized in the evenings to mimic the feel of in-person attendance in the academy. The trainers were very creative and showed us a variety of ways to engage participants in an online setting. Overall, I had a very good experience. I hope that sometime in future I will get to meet all the trainers and participants in person.
