    About this ebook

    In this book the reader is presented with a journey or a process of moving towards positive intercultural awareness. The hope is that this positive awareness can result in a different understanding of other cultures that can lead to tolerance between cultural groups and a celebration of the value of diversity that will transform intercultural relationships. The title of this book From my own to the unknown and back to my own places the emphasis on the practical journey towards intercultural relationships. The thinking behind this has deeply to do with the transformation of ourselves that takes place in the journey with the unknown, which then in turn has a transformative impact on ourselves.
