Description:

This interactive workshop series for Northwestern staff aims to provide tools for greater self-awareness and practical knowledge to increase intercultural sensitivity and effective communication in the workplace. The small group workshops will be conducted online, involving a combination of live presentations, discussions, and interactive activities. All participants will be provided with an online, personal assessment — the Cultural Orientations Indicator® (COI) — and will have access to an array of professional development materials.

At the end of the workshop series, participants will be able to:

- define the concept of culture and understand its levels and dimensions
understand and apply learnings from the Cultural Orientations Indicator® (COI) and the Cultural Navigator® to work situations
- reflect more structurally and critically on past and current intercultural workplace experiences
- use tools and strategies provided to reduce intercultural conflict and misunderstanding

Workshop Dates - Fall 2021
In Fall 2021, our workshop series will take place on Fridays, from 10am - 12pm, starting on October 22 and ending on November 19th.
