The Intercultural Development Research Institute in Milan, Italy operates with four main goals:
- To contribute to a constructivist definition of the field of intercultural communication and to support continuing and new research in intercultural development.
- To disseminate the results of research to other professionals in the field of intercultural relations.
- To educate the public on intercultural issues and the results of research in intercultural development.
- To provide researchers, educators, and trainers with constructivist-based strategies and techniques for designing, delivering, and assessing developmental intercultural programs.
The Institute offers regular courses and events and generously shares intercultural resources via video posts and articles on topics from Intercultural Training Design and Administration to International & Intercultural Education, Cultural Identity, and Ethics.
