CID Poster 1: Intercultural Communication / Competence / Dialogue Translated into French

CID PostersThis is another of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, and now translated into French. This one provides a quick and easy way to understand, and differentiate between, the concepts of “intercultural communication,” “intercultural competence,” and “intercultural dialogue,” using a rooster and a sheep to represent members of different cultures (and she notes that the animals are vector designs by vecteezy.com).

The article where these explanations of these concepts (as well as lots of other concepts) were published is:

Leeds-Hurwitz, W. (2016). De la possession des compétences interculturelles au dialogue interculturel: Un cadre conceptuel [Moving from having intercultural competencies to constructing intercultural dialogues: A conceptual framework]. Les Politiques Sociales, 3/4, 7-22.

The French translation was provided by Léonie Potvin, and the graphic design work necessary to revise was by Yan Qiu. Here then is CID Poster 1: Communication/Compétence/Dialogue Interculturel.
