CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCE CENTRE (CKRC)
Do you interact with the World?
Cultural Knowledge and Resource Centre (CKRC) is an integral part of
Kilece. CKRC objective is to get you better prepared for the
Go Abroad experience in whatever capacity you interact with the overseas
communities.
As a knowledge centre, we provide applicable cultural insights specific to the
foreign country or community that your work/project is focused on. Since
language does provide a window into a community’s culture, the Go Abroad cultural preparation does include basic language skills relevant to that culture.
The value of cultural orientation and preparation is:
-
It offers you the ability to interact with cultural competence and sensitivity
-
Understanding of your host community point of view, ways of life and
underlying historical experiences that have shaped the present state of
affairs
-
It earns you respect and warm reception in the host community. This
increases your effectiveness and influence while advancing your project
goals
At CKRC, we recognize that the World is a diverse place and we strive to avoid
generalities in order to successfully introduce you to the culture of the people you will work with.
