from your interviews). Compare and contrast the information taken from the biographies and analyse the results using appropriate intercultural frameworks.
a) Using the ‘Cultural Autobiography’ questionnaire create your own cultural autobiography identifying the major influences on your
own life
b) Using the ‘Cultural Autobiography’ questionnaire create a cultural autobiography of someone you deem to have a different cultural
background to yourself and create their cultural autobiography
