1 day on multiculturalism, OK; 1 day on basic management (which, in my case, wasn’t necessary)

It’s always better without following a PowerPoint presentation. Interesting exchanges of everyone’s experiences. A great atmosphere.

I enjoyed learning about the cultural characteristics most commonly observed in different countries. The content outside the slides was useful. I would have liked to have seen even more examples.
