As Ode Magazine publishes a new interview with Ken Wilber here:
Ken Wilbers take on saving the world through cross-cultural communication
I want to deepen and stratify the meaning of KW calls cross cultural communication.
For me its not only linking ones message to diverse languages and culural stages of devleopment. Its about aligning the work to the codes and life conditions of the referred culture and society.
As is done in work of the center for human emergence.
www.humanemergence.org
and its various country nodes.
Documented for example here:
www.che-mideast.org
www.nordicintegral.com
www.petermerry.org
The episode from Bill Clinton and world economic forum from 2006 is an example of initially getting some public attention. I am personally -since 2007 -creating connectivity to this forum and gaining ever new insights that name dropping by far isnt sufficient.
To establish global meshworking constellations and natural designs and how they create impact, value and momentum in an integral context isnt inspected enough in Global Integral.
One who started to enlargen the global radar screen is Steve McIntosh. See his book, blog and other ressources about the theme Integral Consciousness:
www.stevemcintosh.com
Manpower for doing the legwork is needed too. Creating big constellations and focus them laser.like on local spots and geografic areas requires lots conversion from conversations which matter to action with sustainable impact. I have done work in this directions last years and it can be incredibly exhausting.
However I am in very good cheer right now and simply discovering that the strongest developments often happen in a stealth mode, invisibly. Behind the stages more than on the stages.
Ken Wilber is adressing the very important theme of cross cultural communication.
It should be clear, from an integral point of view , what exactly, concretly and in a documented way is happening in the fields. And how much very ordinary, disciplined and unspectacular work is to be done too.
Everybody speaks about collaboration now. Facilitating this in horizontal diversity as much as in vertical complexity, in cross-cultural settings as much as in regional, national and continental nexus, in cities, health care, education, communities and countries needs ongoing precise documentation and dynamic feedback loops too.
Recommending here three more ressources of concrete cross cultural communication which adress more and more global orientation. With authors from across the globe:

Excellent resources, right-on-the pulse remarks & always laser sharp & high view of it all Albert. Several other web site & resources adding more angles to it all that we have both used and shared before in addition to the great ones you referenced here are: www.integrallife.com/
www.odemagazine.com/
www.enlightennext.org/magazine
www.evolve.org
What we really want, need and are working to see is that massive transition ”from conversations which matter to action with sustainable impact.” Absolutely! Your continuous work on the stages and behind the scenes is essential for facilitating and catalyzing such cross cultural communication AND action across cultures, codes and stages.
heat is on and the beat must go on!
i like the astonishing dance of synchronicities between us, Darina! The coherence and even the breakdancing and invisible loops:):)
Have a great time full of laughter, life and joyful surprises,
Albert
Talk about transitions. The kidz in Gaia are going to bring the most fantastic show of cross culture right here in Gaia!
They are part of the family now too!

Wikipedia says this :
Cross Cultural Communication
If you google it there are
92.000.000 results to be found.
So obviously lots to be explored now and the future.
From within and from structural approaches of all kind.
From personal views and the vast landscapes of social systems.
From public spheres and intimate personal perceptions.
