Intercultural competence can no longer be viewed as a ‘nice to have’ skill in our world. It is a ‘need to have.’

If you are faculty or staff in higher education who would like to improve your ability to appropriately and effectively navigate cultural differences, and better support students from globally diverse backgrounds, this workshop is for you!

As a result of participating in this workshop, you will:

• gain a deeper understanding of concepts such as culture and intercultural competence, and how these impact you, your work, and your students
• increase awareness and understanding of your own characteristic ways of making meaning and acting in familiar and unfamiliar contexts, particularly in your role as an educator
• increase awareness and understanding of how people from different cultural backgrounds may make meaning and act in familiar and unfamiliar contexts
• become familiar with the importance of responding mindfully in contexts that disorient or challenge us, and learn strategies/processes to help you do so
• learn tools and processes that can help you begin to bridge cultural differences you may experience in your work as an educator
