Stimulate lively discussions with activities for a variety of situations: The authors have written and adapted sound, ready-to-use activities for settings where the exploration of values differences is beneficial: the workplace, the classroom, corporate diversity and intercultural training, international team development workshops, conflict management and other contexts.
Inexperienced trainers can gain new knowledge: The authors' introduction provides the reader/trainer with an encapsulated theoretical background on values work, including instrumental versus terminal values, the concept of risk in presenting certain values activities, the importance of Robert Kolb's learning styles, and the importance of considering the developmental level of intercultural sensitivities in choosing activities, as per the work of Janet and Milton Bennett.
User friendly and accessible: The authors' table of activities at the front of the book helps users choose activities that are appropriate for their needs according to risk level, time required, context (work, personal or general) and group (individual, team, organisation, domestic diversity or international). The directions for the activities are easy to follow, and the worksheets and handouts are meant to be photocopied and used.
