Can Arts based Training Enhance Cultural Competence?

This presentation was delivered at the joint HEA/UKCISA Internationalisation of Pedagogy and Curriculum in Higher Education Conference that took place at the University of Warwick on 16th and 17th June 2011.

Although business schools around the world often put educating global business leaders in their mission statements few of them actually take initiatives to embed intercultural training into their curriculum. This presentation details a study of the use of arts-based methods to help students of a UK based multicultural business school to improve their cultural competence.
