Explore the world
This section of IWANTTHEWORLD helps you to gain a deeper understanding of other cultures and provides guidance for your educational travel adventures.
Understanding the Other
A deeper layer of understanding the world is provided by the blogpost series ‘Understanding the Other‘. This collection discusses the underlying psychological characteristics (i.e. cultural values) in different parts of the world, as well as what the psychological adaptation process looks like when you encounter people from other cultures and start living in another country for a longer period of time.
Experience new worlds
Since experiencing different value systems yourself is perhaps the only way to really grasp the theory presented in ‘Understanding the Other’, IWANTTHEWORLD also supports you in your decision to travel abroad. In the blogpost series ‘Xperience new worlds‘ several articles discuss the relevance of studying and working abroad, in relation to cross-cultural competencies, personal- and professional development. For example, the articles guide you in understanding the pros and cons of study abroad, overseas internships, study tours and international consulting projects.

Good luck on your world exploration tour.
Kind regards,
Erik van ‘t Klooster
