Intercultural learning becomes most visible in how we interact with others. This session focuses on bridging cultural differences in relationships, teamwork, and collaborative settings. Participants will explore strategies for shifting perspectives, attuning to others’ emotional and cultural cues, and adapting communication and behavior in ways that are effective, respectful, and appropriate across cultural contexts.
The workshop will be held in person on Tuesday, April 21, from 12:30 - 1:50 p.m. CST in the Campus Instructional Facility (CIF) (1405 W Springfield Ave, Urbana, IL 61801); Room 2018.
