This is an acted fragment. We see an intake by a Dutch nurse at the home of a migrant couple. The woman is pregnant and her husband is refusing to discuss some medical options. The nurse must try to prevent an open conflict with the husband. This clip comes from an interactive DVD, produced by Jaffar Consultancy, to be used for training medical staff that have to communicate with non-Dutch groups and individuals. The DVD shows several possibilities and strategies to cope with, within a communicative context, such as an intake procedure.

Trainees can suggest a certain strategy for a conversation and watch the DVD to see how this particular strategy works out. Roles in this clip are played by actors Willy van der Griendt, Goran Stojanovic and Soula Notos. Copyright protected

This clip comes from a DVD about intercultural management that was produced by Jaffar Consultancy. The dialogues have been written on the basis of actual conversations that have been reasearched by us. They are played in this clip by professional actors Soula Notos and  Goran Stojanovic. This particular scene illustrates different styles of hierarchy and communication. The female boss is both very informal and directive at the same time.  This confuses the male employee who nonetheless does not feel entitled to ask her any questions, due to his own culturally influenced views on hierarchy.

Two girls with a migrant background talk about their future professions and the secondary schools that they would like to attend. This video is used in trainings that Jaffar Consultancy conducts for staff at primary schools.
