yoga form: a new way to asses your intercultural competence

The yoga form is a very useful tool which allows us to evaluate our own intercultural competence.When living abroad you don't realize that you are using all attitudes learnt during your life( skills, way of thinking, way of manners etc..)
The YOGA form allows us to summarize our unconscious attitudes and competence in a very detailed way. By doing it you become aware of the your real intercultural skills and you recognize at which level you are.But mostly you know in which sectors you have to increase your intercultural objectives.In brief, the yoga form provides an assessment tool at various stages of intercultural development.
Intercultural competence, as we know, is the ability to develop and maintain relationships, the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately with minimal loss and the ability to obtain cooperation with others.
Language and culture are dimensions of each other, interrelated.
In my opinion, the most interesting aspect about intercultural competence is that it offers us the possibility to go over the limitations about our own world view. It is useful to open ourself to the world and not to consider all cultures from an ethnocentric point of view( that is by judging cultures from our point of view by comparing it on the basis of our culture).
So intercultural competence allow us to become" global" participants " and so throughout yoga form we can assess our intercultural competence.
By doing it I couldn't complete the part about the level IV ( intercultural/ Multicultural specialist) because I didn't do any kind of specialist multicultural experience.( except working and studying abroad).
In conclusion I can say that it was very useful to complete this yoga form because it was a reflective moment on my real level of intercultural competence.
