As a trainer focused on intercultural development for your students, you know that international and education abroad students speak most often of the transformation they have gone through as a result of their intercultural experience. You may also know that your effort to engage real transformative learning falls far below expectations. Experience without support does not render the intercultural competence that we strive for in our intercultural training. Instead, it requires a rich integration of the right training and support.
Is your current intercultural training meeting the transformative learning demands of your students and the field?
OBJECTIVES
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
- Critically review your current intercultural training and devise a more effective strategy.
- Consider how the appropriate interventions lead to transformational learning.
- Revise your current training plan to select, sequence, and time activities that more effectively engage students in their intercultural experience.
