INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE AND THE NON-FORMAL TRAINING FOR ADULTS
INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE AND THE NON-FORMAL TRAINING FOR ADULTS

Summary/Abstract: "Intercultural experiences are a source of personal enrichment and development. They can take various forms, starting with study opportunities to leisure time spent abroad. Irrespective of their type, these experiences make people ask questions about the human behaviour and attitudes in different contexts. Our article represents a direct observation of an international seminar held in Spain which applies the intercultural approach to the development of communication competences. The purpose of the research is to show that all the didactic methods and activities used by the trainers in a non-formal educational context reveal the constant preoccupation to develop intercultural communication skills with the participants and to promote a genuine dialogue between cultures. Non-formal training methods prove to be effective for adult learning since adults exhibit specific learning methods, characterized by reasoning and volition."
