“People of different religions and cultures live side-by-side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us in very different groups.
We can love what we are, without hating what – and who we are not. We can thrive in our own tradition, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings.”
Kofi Annan
Intercultural Communication is the ability to function effectively across cultures, to think and act appropriately, and to communicate and work with people from different cultural backgrounds – at home or abroad.(UNESCO, 2013)
Since communication is the mutual creation of meaning and culture is the coordination of meaning and action in a group, it follows that intercultural communication is the mutual creation of meaning across cultures. This means that intercultural communication is the mechanism whereby people of different groups perceive and try to make sense of one another.
