What is cultural mediation
The profession of cultural
mediation has the objective of facilitating relations between local
and foreign citizens, intended to promote reciprocal knowledge and
comprehension aimed at favouring a positive relationship between
subjects of different cultural backgrounds. The main characterising
elements of cultural mediators are communicative competence, empathy,
active listening and good knowledge of both the hosting country
and country of origin (culture, laws, traditions, etc.)
