The Center for Intercultural Dialogue has been asked to help circulate the following notice:
We are currently running a survey on the nature of the intercultural profession with three goals in mind:
1. Gain an understanding of the nature of the intercultural profession globally in 2013
2. Provide guidance for newcomers in the intercultural field
3. Show the development of the intercultural profession over the last 10 years (this will be done based on the results of surveys from 2004 and 2008 from K. Berardo and G. Simons)
We are asking all who work in the intercultural field (*), be it as educators, trainers, coaches, academics, youth workers or others, to please take time to complete the survey.
Here’s the link to the 15 mins survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ICProfessionSurvey2013
Thank you all for this collective effort to shed light on our field and the way we work.
Best regards,

(*) For the purposes of this study, ‘intercultural work’ is defined as work that focuses on the subject of culture and aims to facilitate communication and interaction across cultures. It may involve, though is not limited to, such activities as teaching, training, and consulting. We do keep the term “cross-cultural” as well since it’s commonly used in some parts of the world.
