2 ) Second Session June 19 to 21, 2014 – Seminar on Intercultural Law – Birgu (Malta)

The seminar aims to provide information and tools to access the new courses of study on cultural rights. Its scope is to solve the problems that can arise in encounters between people from different cultures, and the management of the so-called cultural shock.

The field of cross-cultural analysis of law exists alongside that of the study of intercultural communication. These studies evaluate and analyze the risk of misunderstanding in international exchange of subjective information. In addition, they focus on the role played by the implicit discourses within the transmission of ideas.

Passing from the political to the diplomatic affairs or for trading business, there are many areas of interest potentially involved in the seminar of law studies and intercultural communication. A significant and growing literature attests to this emergency.

The Mediterranean Academy of Culture, Tourism and Trade, will conclude its work on the evening of June 21, 2014 at 20:00, with a charity gala dinner at Hotel Le Meridien in Malta, to which are invited all the participants of the seminars.
