From culture clash to fruitful collaboration

Fostering intercultural hearts and minds for a sustainable future - one conversation at a time
Hello! My name is Donna-Marie Jørgensen and I’m the Founder of Culture Code

I am a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Trainer, Intercultural Group-work Facilitator & Cultural-awareness Specialist

I champion the need for self-awareness, becoming culturally intelligent and improved team-work. This can only happen through cultural education, continuous communication and learning.

I am an empathetic social designer, insightful workshop facilitator and cultural-awareness specialist. I help Internationals to understand Danish culture to smooth their path to thriving (living, working and studying) in Denmark.

What can Culture Code offer?

My mission is to help Internationals understand the Danish culture - studies, life, workplace - and smooth their path to thriving in Denmark through fun, engaging, and interactive
face-to-face and virtual intercultural training.

How do I do it?

The Cultural Connector © - rooted in research

I designed a unique, empirically tested tool that trains cross-cultural skills, develops intercultural group-work competencies. The Cultural Connector© informs, engages and inspires across cultures.

Testimonials

When we needed an intercultural expert to deliver a programme on Living and Working in Denmark, Donna-Marie came highly recommended to us. She expertly delivered an engaging, focussed and extremely practical programme to our client who was about to take up a position in Copenhagen. I was particularly impressed by Donna-Marie’s energy, passion and highly- interactive approach to the training need. She was able to craft a deeply personalised programme at very short notice. As an expert in her field, I would strongly recommend Donna-Marie and hope to work with her again at some point in the near future.

I had the pleasure of creating and delivering a webinar collaborating with Donna-Marie on the Multicultural aspects of recruiting processes. She delivered so much insight and documented examples from her research so it provided great effect in the webinar. I can clearly recommend to reach out to Donna- Marie for a discussion about Intercultural Training.

I hired Donna-Marie Jørgensen for a workshop on virtual collaboration and intercultural communication - two important issues on today's labour market. She did a great job and provided valuable insights for the participants, drawing on her wide competences in the field. With her training, commitment and unique background, she is the ideal instructor in this area. I give her my warmest recommendations.

Donna-Marie gave a talk for my webinar series "Tips and Tricks: Job Searching in Denmark for Internationals". She shared great insights on helping internationals to understand the Danish culture and professional aspects related to navigating the Danish workplace when it comes to job searching in a Danish cultural context. I would recommend Culture Code to individuals, companies and institutions who need help (in person or online) in bridging their cultural gaps and developing collaboration skills.

Comments from a newly arrived group of international exchange students at a Danish University

Donna-Marie was part of our three-month Global Case Study Challenge 2020, Global Educator Certification Program. She provided invaluable contributions to our first cohort as she is an individual with a high degree of reflection when it comes to analysing complex learning environments that require unique solutions. In addition, she is an educator with a lot of experience and enthusiasm for the virtual space. Her capstone project was an excellent project - a group work showing us not only team spirit, but the integration of content from all our 4 modules in an entertaining way using gamification elements.
