Abstract
Instructors in four countries (the USA, Scotland, Germany and Portugal) ran a 6 week cross-cultural virtual teams project. Responses before and after the project were analyzed according to five tendencies of intercultural sensitivity and communication competence. 1) Increased awareness of verbal, non-verbal and para-verbal communication. 2) Increased appreciation of cultural differences. 3) Reduction of ethnocentristic tendencies and stereotypes. 4) Reduction of fears and increase in confidence in dealing with other cultures. 5) Increased awareness of difficulties in dealing with other cultures.
