People experience change all the time, both in the workplace and in their private lives. Some are sent abroad to work, some come from abroad, and others meet colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds face to face. These situations can carry personal social challenges which are best approached pro-actively.

Journal mondial
For many years I have been the editor of mondial, the SIETAR Journal for Intercultural Perspectives.
For years, the journal mondial (formerly SIETAR Journal) has been one of the leading journals for intercultural issues from theory and practice in the German-speaking region. In a balanced relationship between science (research) and practice (profession), reports, interviews and professional articles can be found.

mondali World Culture Calendar
Every day is a day of celebration – worldwide!
I enthusiastically develop and produce the mondali world culture calendar in a team, whose idea is unique. Based on my experience and sensitivity for global issues around diversity, tolerance and communication, an intercultural calendar is created that shows day by day what is celebrated where. With explanations.
mondali is an invitation to travel around the world: the Tamborrada of San Sebastián – the 24-hour drum festival in Spain, the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles or Thadingyut Full Moon in Myanmar, where the bright, happy season begins, where little boats decorated with lanterns float away at night in the jet-black Mekong. mondali is a colourful collection of festivals and holidays of different cultures and religions.
