Day three, Bafa-bafa

Workshop – Bafa/Bafa – 3 hour group Workshop/Group Discussion & participation

What happens in Bafa - bafa?

After an initial briefing two cultures are created. The Alpha culture is a relationship oriented, high

context, strong ingroup outgroup culture. The Beta culture is a highly competitive trading culture.

After the participants learn the rules of their culture and begin living it, observers and visitors are

exchanged. The resulting stereotyping, misperception and misunderstanding becomes the grist for the

debriefing.

Have you ever tried? It,s worth it! More information:
