Length: Three Days
Location: Göttingen
Game Supervisors and Tutor Training: Jiri Burgerstein (M.A.) or Alexander Reeb (M.A.) (About the Instructors)
The Five Culture Game is an intensive, practical, and theoretical activity in intercultural training. The game is a scenario in which teams with different culture scripts work on tasks in which participants not only emphasize their own scripted cultural identity, but try to find solutions by working with each other. Due to its complexity, the Five Culture Game is especially effective in imparting the following processes of intercultural and transcultural learning:
- cultural self-perception through the adoption of cultural preferences and behaviors based on the scripted role, which differ from the participant’s own culture,
- attention to and increased awareness for other cultural orientations,
- insight on the influence of culture on decision making and problem solving,
- ensitization to “transcultural connection potential”: the possibility to find an approach to dealing with other cultures through one’s own cultural orientation,
- strategic exposure to one’s own lifestyle and communication style, as well as those of others, with the aim of achieving solutions to problems mutually, and
- strategic treatment of culture specific conflicts.
A short description of the basic principles and implementation methods of the Five Culture Game can be found here.
