MULTI-MEDIA TRAINING FOR CROSS-CULTURAL INTERACTION

Abstract

Explains that the United States is engaged in stability operations on a worldwide basis. In addition to technical knowledge, cross-cultural interaction skills are required for successful mission accomplishment. Cross- cultural experience is not readily available in the United States, but American personnel must develop cross-cultural interaction skills in order to accomplish their assigned tasks. Clearly, a practical training program is required to assist in the development of skills and attitudes necessary for successful accomplishment. Discusses the training material packages created by System Development Corporation and describes the training aids included in these packages and particularly the self-contained PACKAGE (Planned Aids for Cross- Cultural Knowledge, Action and Growth in Effectiveness). An instructor acting as a leader can train his students by following the directions and using the materials provided. He need neither concern himself with selection and preparation of subject content nor with its design or the production of training aids. His full effort can be given to guiding students through the material provided.
