TRAINING TITLE & DESCRIPTION

TITLE: Noticing, Naming, and Navigating Through Our Identities

DESCRIPTION: Participants will continue to build their understanding of how their identities impact their experiences across cultures both inside and outside of the university. Participants will also discover and explore connections between their current practices, the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC), and their roles on campus. The overarching goal will be to practice new ways to notice, name, and navigate cultural similarities and differences through self-reflection and listening to and sharing experiences with colleagues.
