FAQ – country-specific cross-cultural training
How long does a country-specific cross-cultural training last?
The duration depends largely on the objective: Do you want to convey knowledge, raise awareness, or build and strengthen real cross-cultural skills?
If a training program is meant to be truly interactive, include extensive practice, cover all key topics, and develop lasting competencies, two days are highly recommended. This format provides the time needed for sustainable learning and meaningful skill development.
Half-day training sessions, on the other hand, are primarily suited for sharing knowledge and creating awareness. There is usually not enough time to practice, expand, and refine competencies.
One-day trainings are often a compromise between duration, learning impact, interactive design, and content depth.
At Eidam & Partner, we have had particularly strong results with blended learning approaches. In this format, certain knowledge modules are delivered in advance through e-learning. The live training time can then be fully dedicated to practicing skills, discussing real-life cases, and providing targeted feedback.
How many participants are ideal for this cross-cultural training?
If a training program is meant to be interactive, smaller groups are almost always more effective. For intensive practice, meaningful discussion, and individual attention, around 12 participants is an excellent group size, while 15 is usually the upper limit for a traditional training format.
Larger groups are certainly possible, but they often require a different format than a typical training session in order to maintain engagement and learning impact.
Can this country-specific cross-cultural training be delivered online?
Yes, it can. At Eidam & Partner, we combine virtual workshops with interactive exercises, breakout sessions, digital learning impulses, and transfer tasks to ensure strong engagement and learning impact.
For some objectives, in-person training is ideal, while for others online formats work extremely well. That said, our experience clearly shows that the strongest learning effects are typically achieved in face-to-face group trainings.
In the following, you can find a comprehensive comparison between in-person and online training formats based on several years of experience in the field.
Furthermore, we strongly advise against hybrid training formats in which some participants attend in person while others join online. From both a didactic and logistical perspective, these formats rarely produce satisfying results. We are happy to find more effective solutions for your training needs.
