Introduction
Cultural literacy or intercultural competence or being able to cope with cultural diversity is becoming increasingly important.
With increasing cultural diversity as a result of globalization, intercultural competence (IC) to interact and co-exist in multicultural environments is recognized as being very important. (Corder and U-Mackey, 2015).

Technologies for cultural literacy
According to Anstadt (2015), an environment like second life has several affordances:
- The ability to role play simulations without compromising the identity of the individual. Yet at the same time there, is a relationship between users virtual lives and their real lives.
- A simulated environment offers the potential for a range of experiences that is not available in "real live", including connecting with people that otherwise cannot be met.
