"CONTEXT: The idea of the CULT_Risk project came from the fact that nowadays there is a time of huge migration to Europe. People from the Middle East and Africa come to Europe for a better and easier life. It causes that in a near future these people will be employed by ""national"" organisations. It can cause a lot of misunderstandings between workers resulting from the lack or insufficiency of cultural competencies or skills how to cope with cultural risks in the organisation. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the project was to identify the cultural risks in the organisation, and to develop methods for how to cope with cultural risks in order for the organisation to operate as efficiently as possible. Moreover, the objective of the project was to raise awareness on cultural risk and to improve knowledge and skills through the design of the on-line training both for the staff of managerial and lower levels, which work in multi-cultural organisations. The aim of the course is to educate the target group on how to cope with the cultural problems occurring in the organisations and how to behave in order not to be socially excluded in the organisation.PARTICIPANTS: The project assumed direct and indirect participation c.a. 1000 people - people directly linked with the organisations, who are the partners in the project; people working in different organisations, who have everyday contact with people of different cultures and who can identify the cultural risks in their work.ACTIVITIES: The following activities were undertaken: three transnational project meetings (Cyprus, Latvia, and Italy), comparative research analysis on risks occurring in multicultural organisations (O1); comparative analysis on competencies needed for the staff in multicultural organisations - development of a competence map (O2); development of the training content for acquiring competencies enabling to eliminate or minimise risks in the multicultural environment (O3); methodological handbook and training course plan for adult educators (O4); CULT_Risk on-line platform (O5). Moreover, the multiplier events were organised and the dissemination activities were undertaken during the whole project lifespan.METHODOLOGY: The methodology in the CULT_Risk project assumed that the main responsibility belonged to the coordinating institution (Łukasiewicz - ITeE), which supervised the level of the performance of all tasks. In regards to the individual tasks, they were adequately divided into partners. The research methods used for the execution and completion of tasks included among others literature review, document analysis, case studies, discussion panels, discussions with experts, interviews, and surveys. In the meantime of the execution of the project the transnational meetings were organised, however, the partnership did not manage to organise all five planned transnational meetings. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, only three meetings were organised, but this situation did not influence negatively the correct completion of the tasks.RESULTS: The main results obtained in the CULT_Risk project were strongly linked to the outputs: comparative research report on risks occurring in multicultural organisations (O1); comparative report on competencies needed for the staff in multicultural organisations. Development of a competence map (O2); the training content for acquiring competencies enabling to eliminate or minimise risks in the multicultural environment (O3); methodological handbook and training course plan for adult educators (O4); CULT_Risk on-line platform (O5).IMPACT: The CULT_Risk project has the impact on different target groups: (1) employees and employers: improved awareness on the necessity of acquiring cultural competencies; broadening of horizons to see the bigger picture of the benefits from having and improving cultural competencies; improved employees satisfaction and motivation to work if they are able to solve any cultural conflicts, which can occur; interest and curiosity of cultural difference in the organisation society; (2) the organisation: changed the ethos and atmosphere within the institution, trigger changes in employers and employees and their views on cultural diversity and the need of deepening it.BENEFITS: The use of the developed educational materials and the knowledge on the issues linked with cultural risks in the organisation enable to avoid risks that can occur in the organisation and to ensure high efficiency of work. The benefits are also linked with the cooperation between partners' institutions. Some of them submitted other projects related to the cultural aspects in the organisations (ERASMUS+, Horizon 2020)."
