A New Course in 2010
The Intercultural Context of Training

This winter the Intercultural Communication Institute will be offering a 4-day course (see dates below) on the Intercultural Context of Training. Whether you train about culture or across cultures, this course will offer theoretical background and practical tools for successful work in both domestic diversity and global competence. For those who teach about culture, the course will offer frameworks for understanding resistance to intercultural learning, designing training to address learner readiness, and balancing challenge and support. For those who teach or train diverse groups, the course will examine processes for cultural responsiveness through cognitive styles, communication styles, and learning styles adaptations across cultures. All participants will leave the class with an intercultural toolkit of training methods and activities for a variety of intercultural contexts.

Taught by Janet Bennett in cooperation with Chris Cartwright, the schedule and locations for the course are:

All classes will be held from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Credit is available through Portland State University.
