Intercultural Competence Workshop #3: Communicating Across Cultures

November 3, 2022

International Education at Festival du Voyageur

Classrooms, workplaces, and communities are made up of people with diverse and complex cultural backgrounds. To navigate these intercultural environments, Intercultural Competence is the ability that helps us to interact effectively and appropriately with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. By developing our intercultural competence, we foster our ability to recognize, acknowledge, respect, and incorporate an understanding of worldviews and their impact on relationships.

This 3rd workshop in the Intercultural Competence series will continue to build the skills of intercultural competence, such as understanding culture in communication, verbal and non-verbal communication, communication styles and cultural misperceptions, and calibrating communication styles.

This on-campus workshop is offered in the Connected Classroom at the Notre Dame Campus. Students and faculty can register in advance for a seat in the Connected Classroom, but space is limited to 50 participants. To increase access to these workshops, Emerging Media and Production is live-streaming each workshop through Webex for any registered online participants. A content recording will also be available after the event for students and instructors to access, and audience discussions will be edited out of the recording to respect the brave conversations of participants.

All on-campus participants will be provided snacks and beverages, along with a chance to win a door prize! Register today for your chance to win!
