New Interculturalists' Program – July 6-13, 2008
[New Interculturalist Application]
Designed for those interested in a glimpse of SIIC behind the scenes, the New Interculturalists’ Program begins just before Session I, and offers an Institute immersion experience, an introduction to the field of intercultural relations, and an exploration of professional opportunities. All New Interculturalists will also attend a three-day Foundations of Intercultural Communication workshop and a one-day Sample of SIIC class, where they will work closely with faculty in a support capacity. This is an opportunity to not only see behind the scenes but also be behind the scenes at SIIC and gain considerable insight into what drives the field and those who are actively engaged in it.Ideal candidates for this program are recent college graduates interested in testing whether intercultural work is right for them, those considering intercultural graduate school, or professionals shifting from another field into intercultural careers.
Objectives
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn how to become more deeply engaged in intercultural training, research, and education
- Examine career options for using intercultural knowledge and skills
- Review core concepts in intercultural relations, including the history of the field
- Be a part of the team that implements the Institute
Through a mixture of discussion, presentation, exercises, and service to SIIC, New Interculturalists will experience both the theory and practice of intercultural relations.
This is one of two SIIC programs that has a formal selection procedure, and enrollment is limited so participants can receive more personal attention.
The total cost for the New Interculturalists’ Program (tuition and room and board for the session) is $1350. Interculturalists should arrive no later than 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening, July 6, and depart no sooner than Sunday morning, July 13. Application forms, available from ICI, can also be downloaded. The deadline for early acceptance, particularly for international applicants needing visas, is Monday, May 5, 2008. Applications will be accepted until Wednesday, May 21, 2008.
