This workshop will raise intercultural awareness of participants who study or work in a multi-cultural environment by introducing cultural dimensions, intercultural communication theories and models. Through interactive discussions and activities, the participants will explore how different cultural values influence their own perceptions and behaviors and what kind of new behaviors they would like to try in order to study or work effectively with others who have different cultural backgrounds.
