In this document I dealt with dealing with cultural differences while being abroad. On the one hand a distinction was made in terms of the duration of staying abroad: duty trip, exchange, expat, emigration. On the other hand some aspects were discussed. This coincides with the Dealing with Cultural Differences branch of the mind-map at www.culturalcompetence.eu (depicted on the left), in particular the labels Personal Guidelines, Living Abroad, Experience and Preparations. The often inspiring quotes by students were not mentioned and the exercises were limited to only one.
