Two developments are seemingly moving toward the opposite directions: an increasing uniformity of every-day culture on the  one hand, and  a drive  to retain elements of individual cultures, on the other (University Witten\/Herdecke, International society for Diversity Management (IDM), 2006)¿.

Recognition and respect are requested to meet this differences. To face these requirements the following paper will discuss the meaning of intercultural competence.
