Sloane Intercultural was founded in 1991 by Julianna Nielsen to provide project management services to educational publishers, with a specific focus on language learning materials. In 2006, we shifted our focus and added services in intercultural consulting and management. In 2014, we refocused again, to bring our past experience of curriculum design, materials development, educational consulting, expertise in the French language and the Francophone world, program management and intercultural expertise to contribute to the field of international development.
