Conflict Management Center Workshop: Cross-Cultural Communication
204 Maxwell Hall
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
Despite decades of globalization and
multiculturalism, misconceptions about those deemed “culturally different”
prevail, often leading to conflict. Yet, cross-cultural interactions are
ubiquitous, making the need for positive and effective communication more
pressing than ever. But how do we get there? This workshop will help you develop
skills to foster better communication across cultural differences. It will
provide you with an opportunity to reflect about the meaning of “culture,” a
word often invoked but little understood, and its role in shaping our
perceptions and interactions. Building on anthropological notions, real world
examples, and practical exercises, the workshop will promote an understanding
of cultural differences as a rich element of the human experience rather than
as barriers that divide us. These reflections will be the foundation for
concrete practices of communication that are respectful of differences but also
productive for finding common ground to achieve mutually satisfactory goals.
