AWARENESS

TRAINING

This course will develop your understanding of Arab culture and how you can more successfully work with Arabs both in the UK and in the Arab world.

In the modern business world, it is a necessity to work and interact with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. It is no longer acceptable to be ignorant about different cultures and a clear understanding of others can contribute greatly to your success. Whether you are looking to decrease culture shock when working abroad or improve your professional relationships, we are here to provide you with essential skills to work successfully with different cultures. Every one can benefit from our in depth, customised course. 

Taking London Arabia’s Trust Me, I’m an Arab Cultural Awareness Training will ensure the success of your international ventures, or help you better appeal to Arab consumers within in the UK. 

Why Arab Culture?

The UK has recently taken massive steps to improve its relationship with the Arab World, signalling to businesses and organisations the Arab market will only become more valuable. Already Arab tourists are among the highest spenders in London’s popular luxury shopping districts, and easing visa restrictions will increase the number of yearly tourists. In addition, negotiations for a free trade agreement are currently underway.

Businesses and brands that are prepared for working with Arab consumers and partners stand to benefit greatly from this progress.

However, many falsely believe they do not need to adjust their strategy to work with Arabs or in the Arab World and harmful stereotypes still circulate in the media. This could damage relationships beyond prepare and severely harm your business.
