Diversity Training
Trainers: Lyle and Jen
Dialogue is a tool that can help our communities move together, heal and strengthen. Through dialogue, you, your colleagues and students can use the differences that threaten to fragment your campus to instead weave adaptable, strong communities. Constructive dialogue is a process that happens through learning how to actively listen and build intercultural awareness. These trainings are designed to construct meaningful, sustained dialogues on campus.
Intercultural Training (USA)
Trainers: Tara
This train-the-trainer workshop is designed to enhance educators’ capacities to effectively facilitate intercultural learning. The training will focus on helping participants develop four core intercultural competencies:
- Increase cultural and personal self-awareness through reflecting on one’s own experience, past and present;
- Increase awareness of others within their own cultural and personal contexts;
- Learn to manage emotions and thoughts in the face of ambiguity, change, and challenging circumstances and people; and
- Bridge cultural gaps—that is, learn to shift frames and adapt behavior to cultural contexts different from one’s own.
