“Sometimes you think you know it all, but not this time. Combined with historical background information and funny facts, the game was an added value for cultural understanding and greatly helped our companies to develop their Chinese business skills. We all agreed that we could apply our new skills alreday, either in contact with Chinese employers/partners or to prepare for our visit to China.“

” (Sandy Barkowsky Municipality of Tilburg)
