what is a cultural iceberg
Culture is often compared to an iceberg which has both visible (on the surface) and invisible (below the surface) parts. Elements of culture which we can plainly see, such as food or clothes, are represented by the upper portion of the iceberg.n an attempt to explain culture more clearly, many intercultural trainers use the Iceberg Model of Culture when delivering cross-cultural training programmes such as Working Successfully Across Cultures or Developing Intercultural Competence.
