Intercultural Intelligence Games and Training

I really enjoyed playing the Intercultural Minefield game as well as doing the Culture Shock role play. They will be valuable tools when I train people across cultures. Maria is an excellent facilitator and bends over backwards when you need assistance. She cares about people and her after workshop follow-up is praiseworthy!

I used my three sets of the Just Don't Say NO game in a Master's Class on 'Communicating with impact in the VUCA world'. It was a huge class of 55 multi-local students and they highly appreciated the interactive approach. I also used it in a small, yet diverse master's group represented by students with backgrounds from Western Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia, (in our Tricontinental Master of Global Studies). The session turned out very productive, and it ended up with a really interesting discussion. The cards work well, I think the students truly enjoy being involved and also the appealing and 'professional' way in which the cards are made.

It was during a workshop led by Maria that I discovered with enthusiasm the range of intercultural games developed by Maria. The richness as well as the relevance of the content of these games testifying to a great experience and an excellent knowledge of intercultural ... without counting the very attractive graphic quality, make them tools of great educational value. In addition, the diversity of game supports (board games, dice, cards, role-playing games, etc.) favors a very playful approach.

Dear Maria, I’m very impressed by the games you've created and the knowledge you have. I love the design of all your games, especially the Intercultural Minefield! It’s fantastic! So, thank you very much for sharing with us your passion and creativity.

Maria is a very nice person to deal with. She is flexible, sensitive, enthusiastic and really passionate about what she does. After having her as an Intercultural Trainer for the audiences from India, Mexico, Syria, Austria, Guinea and Gemany, we can say for sure she is a Professional from a capital letter: she has a perfect command of her subject, of the English language and can involve any audience irregardless of culture, education or age.

Thank you very much! The class was very interesting and useful. It was noticeable that you were well prepared and have profound expertise. I also liked the class because of its unusual methods. Wish you good and lucky life.

The important lesson that I have drawn from this training is that we are all different, but always we can find a way to balance situation and face up conflicts. It helped me to recognize once again some of my strengths and weaknesses. I learnt some techniques to solve some cultural conflicts and more about the Russian culture.

A big thank you for presenting the fabulous games and your fantastic energy. Very happy to have met you the last two days!

Thank you for your great contribution to the gamification workshop, I enjoyed your games very much and have already sparked curiosity among my followers on facebook and Instagram ;-)

I liked the class because it was very practical and rich with the participation of all the classmates. Also the teacher was doing a great job by directing the group and focused us on the main topics.
