Key to making our international projects successful is having culturally-aware individuals to send on assignments. This handbook attempts to expand on desired traits by outlining effective cross cultural communication skills and by providing context to your role as an educational consultant representing Camosun. Although this guide can be used as an introduction for rookie travellers, making their first forays into the wonderfully diverse world outside of North America, it can also be used as a refresher for well-travelled jet-setters.
