The Centre offers expertise in intercultural training, research and evaluation, and consulting.
The changing face of New Zealand
Multiculturalism is a reality in today’s ethnically diverse societies. New Zealand continues to become culturally, ethnically, linguistically and religiously diverse. One in four people living in New Zealand were born overseas, and smaller ethnic and religious communities continue to grow. These trends are expected to continue over the next twenty years.
Victoria University of Wellington’s Centre for Applied Cross-Cultural Research can help your organisation navigate the cross-cultural divide. This is an essential component for succeeding in today’s global economy, where businesses need staff that are culturally competent and have the ability to work around the world across many diverse cultures.
