I am Associate Professor in Intercultural Communication and Russian Cultural Studies at the University of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Since 2008 I am based in Bulgaria and the UK. I teach at the University of Plovdiv and at Kingston University - London. My research interests are in the field of Intercultural Communication and I work as an intercultural consultant, trainer and counsellor.

Dear participants in the Student Mobility Tawasol Project to NUI Galway, On behalf of Leah, and on my own behalf, I am writing to say how much we enjoyed working with you. It all went beyond our expectations.You made us work hard, improvise, watch for useful change, try and identify ways to amplify it and then do more of what worked.The moments we feasted in were those when the room first buzzed with your voices and then exploded in a powerful chorus. THANK YOU!I have sent the presentations from the Intercultural Training to you by e-mail. Do write to us when you want to share or ask something. We’d respond and share in return. We’d be pleased to know how your intercultural competence develops. Wishing you success with all your initiatives!Irina and Leah
Dear Irinayour lectures were most aspiring to me, I actually picked 'intercultural learning" to be the topic of my final presentation, and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for your great efforts and knowledge you passed to us, and i assure you i personally benefited in many ways and i will surely pass this knowledge on
