Cultural intelligence or cultural quotient is the ability to recognise and adapt to cultural differences in order to work effectively in culturally diverse situations, bearing similarities to the term cultural agility. Cultural differences are not just about nationality, ethnicity or beliefs. Many of us work in multicultural and multi-generational organisations, alongside colleagues who have cultural references, beliefs and attitudes that may differ from our own and may cause cultural clashes between departments and teams in the same organisation. The ability to quickly interpret and adapt to behaviour that differs from our own is at the heart of the concept of cultural intelligence. The aim of the CQ+ project is to address polarisation in Europe by supporting adult learners of all ages, abilities, professions and backgrounds to develop their cultural intelligence and appreciation and tolerance of diversity. In order to do so, partners from all over Europe cooperate on the development of a wide range of digital resources to explore practical ways to develop and enhance cultural awareness and international partnership.

Project Results

Within the CQ+ project, the Consortium is committed to developing a combination of innovative educational resources and an in-service training programme to address polarisation in Europe and support adult learners to develop their cultural intelligence and tolerance of diversity.

Our Partners

The CQ+ project is an EU-funded programme involving eight partner organisations from Belgium, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Croatia and Greece, mainly engaged in sustainable development, human rights protection, and social and pedagogical research, working together to develop innovative educational resources to help adult learners improve their cultural intelligence.
