CULTUREWISE - The Cultural Diversity Game. Objective of the game  | The game seeks to improve the ‘cultural intelligence’ of corporate employees by increasing their awareness of their own culture and improving their understanding of others’ cultures (valuing our differences, celebrating our commonalities), thus building better relationships, faster. The overall process will spark conversation and get people sharing their own perspectives, thereby building awareness and forging relationships. What you will gain from Culturewise:
- Awareness and knowledge of many different South African cultures, language groups and religions.
- An opportunity to share personal views and to learn about other people's point of view.
- A chance to learn about personal positive and negative stereotypes one has of one’s own culture.
- A chance to celebrate the dreams, wishes and hopes we have in common.
- A greater ability to 'fit in' at the significant cultural or religious events of other South Africans.
- Better relationships and improved co-operation.
