Abstract

Using a solid theoretical framework, the book Intercultural competences gives students insight into what culture actually entails. The book provides students sufficient tools to interact with all the different cultures worldwide. It also enables them to put things into perspective and position themselves in relation to others with different cultural backgrounds. Through basic concepts, such as values, roles, comfort zones, meaning and context, Intercultural competences highlights what culture is. The book delves into a diverse selection of models that help understand and place cultural phenomena into context. It also provides tools to deal with intercultural conflict.The second edition provides a brief overview of the best known intercultural theories. A distinction is made between scientific and anecdotal models. The Hofstede model is worldwide still the most used and best-known model and is therefore featured in a separate chapter. Richard Lewis's model has faded into the background because of its limited scientific value. Instead, a similar type of model with practical applications has been selected, which does have a scientific background, which is the model of Dingemans & Janssen. In addition, extra subjects are discussed such as cultural identity, inclusivity and diversity.

Abstract

Nederland kent een grote culturele diversiteit. Wat betekent deze diversiteit en de permanente beweging van de samenleving voor het Nederlandse onderwijs, de scholen en de leraren? Culturele diversiteit in de klas geeft antwoord op de vraag hoe leraren recht kunnen doen aan de culturele verschillen in hun klas.Deze zevende, herziene uitgave bestaat uit drie delen. Het eerste deel biedt inzicht in de recente migratiegeschiedenis van Nederland en beschrijft demografische ontwikkelingen. Daarnaast worden de problemen en knelpunten besproken die migratie en culturele diversiteit met zich mee kunnen brengen en die in het maatschappelijke debat aan de orde komen. In deel twee staan inzichten uit de sociologie en de sociale psychologie centraal, die betrekking hebben op het handelen van leraren. In een intermezzo wordt het huidige debat over de multiculturele samenleving besproken en uitgelegd hoe dat debat de afgelopen twintig jaar van karakter is veranderd. Deel drie draait volledig om de docent. Het behandelt de verschillende rollen die de docent vervult en beschrijft praktische situaties en manieren om hiermee te oefenen. Alle hoofdstukken bevatten vragen en opdrachten.Dit boek is geschreven voor studenten aan pabo?s en lerarenopleidingen en voor leraren in het primair en voortgezet onderwijs.https://www.coutinho.nl/nl/culturele-diversiteit-in-de-klas-9789046908112

Abstract

A spectacular book of photographs of sports and games, rituals and traditions - A major streaming service will broadcast a six-part series accompanying the book in May/June 2022, narrated by the well-known actor Idris Elba- Little-known sports from around the world are introduced to a broader public for the first timeWhy do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, traveling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centered around their games.Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazaré, and many other athletes in these unusual sports. These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play.Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.Bron : https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/human-playground-9783961713776?utm_term=&utm_campaign=BENL+%7C+Remarkt&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=1685684530&hsa_cam=15372711073&hsa_grp=130560617896&hsa_ad=564370344922&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=aud-762351523846:pla-297612067635&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqsPs-Onf-gIVDQiLCh21vAgkEAQYASABEgIpJvD_BwE

Abstract

This book addresses existing challenges and opportunities related to tourism for people with disabilities. A niche market that is largely underdeveloped, its potentials are also often underestimated. It examines the strategies, policies, and initiatives - at regional, national, and international levels - to foster the development of accessible tourism for people with disabilities. It does so by examining the different social, cultural, legal, and information/interactive barriers that represent important constraints to welfare, inclusion, integration, and promotion of civil rights, which bring difficulties and detriment to tourists with disabilities. Additionally, the book analyzes the characteristics and dynamics of that portion of the tourism industry that is more oriented to meet the distinctive travel demand of people with disabilities. In doing so, the book explores how preferences for travel services and facilities of people with disabilities differ from preferences of tourists without disabilities. All these issues are addressed from both a theoretical and a practical perspective by adopting a multidisciplinary approach, which leverages from the fields of management, economics, and statistical analysis. The book can be useful for a broad audience made of both researchers and practitioners (among which tourism companies and corporate trainers) who are expected to deal with the topic of tourism management.

There is so much more that can be done but what has been achieved so far needs to be replicated. This book showcases the successes in the industry alongside that which could act as a barrier or escalator. Being the first of its kind, FinTech Women Walk the Talk draws upon the author's podcasts that feature the insights of more than 150 FinTech experts; more than 100 of which are women. It is a call to action for diversity in the workplace, showcasing the successes and presenting how to overcome the challenges. By demystifying FinTech, and highlighting its potential to drive change, this book explores how to achieve gender parity in the workplace. The FinTech industry is used as a case study and hence of interest to practitioners in finance, technology, FinTech and beyond.

She also speaks at universities on 'Demystifying FinTech' to attract the next generation to the industry. Ultimately Nadia believes in people and businesses becoming the best they can be and knows awareness, acknowledgement and action is needed to drive this forward.

Abstract

According to a 2018 World Bank report, Africa is the only region with more women than men choosing to become entrepreneurs - a phenomenon that is not the subject of adequate discussion. This book reveals the latest research-based understanding of the entrepreneurial activities of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Specially invited subject experts present salient dimensions of entrepreneurship by African women, from environmental factors to motivations and influencers as well as financial and non-financial constraints, and highlight the significant role of cultural differences. This book provides a mixture of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research, and fills the knowledge gap by presenting a wide range of opportunities and challenges faced by sub-Saharan African women entrepreneurs. This book will help policy makers and academic researchers in understanding the role of institutions and entrepreneurship policy in building a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.

Abstract

This book features contributions by international scholars who have worked to establish a theory- and empirics-based discussion on disadvantaged minorities and long-term economic development. Depending on their socio-demographic characteristics, minorities have long lived under the shadow of the groups, categories, or communities they presumably belong to. Despite the obstacles they have to face, they manage to demonstrate that, above all, they are entrepreneurs capable to start, run, and successfully complete their venture. Their motivations are often assimilated by the research community into "necessity entrepreneurship." In addition to the external barriers they face, they have to overcome endogenous cognitive factors that hinder their entrepreneurial intention: anxiety before the future, the anguish of death, generativity, health condition as perceived by others, subjective age, and the cultural gap as viewed by natives, among others. The book integrates a diversity of challenges and disadvantages faced by entrepreneurs, allowing the reader to have a renewed understanding of entrepreneurial behavior. On the theoretical level, the chapters emphasize the need for integrating entrepreneurship theory with multidisciplinary approaches, such as the Theory of Cumulative Disadvantage/Advantage (CDA), cultural and geographical theories, and psychological theories. On the practical level, this book would raise the awareness of policy makers, mainly governmental and nongovernmental organizations concerning the disadvantages, and helping them adjust their actions either for local or international programs. Chapter "Intersectionality and Minority Entrepreneurship: At the Crossroad of Vulnerability and Power" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
