I am going to start talking about some points against the
statement of the presentation. As you know, nowadays globalization affects almost everything: from education to business, including communications, jobs, culture and a long etc. It is defined as the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture. Therefore, we believe that people are being pushed to reinforce intercultural relationships in order to adapt to this worldwide phenomenon. For this reason, we shouldnt be talking about the statement of this presentation as a choice, due to the fact that, in some way, globalization has created the necessity of learning to function in an intercultural environment. This makes the statement no longer an option. As an example of globalization, we want to talk about ITER, a project which, as you already know, shows how intercultural projects are developed, and at the same time how people can learn to function in a multicultural and globalized world. Hence, people who are part of this program are good examples of adaptation and improvement. As my teammates are going to explain in a few moments, different strategies should be implemented in order to improve people intercultural skills. The important point is that globalization is the engine for change, and is creating a worldwide culture where people must learn to function together.
