Participate in the Institute of International Education/Dickinson Workshop on Inclusivity and Intercultural Competency
March 25-26, 2021
The Institute of International Education (IIE) has partnered with Dickinson College on a new workshop focused on inclusivity and intercultural competency. We had such overwhelming interest and positive feedback from our December and January workshops, we are offering it again March 25-26, 2021. Designed to be practical in nature, the Moving from Inclusivity Talk to Equity in Action in International Education Leadership workshop will provide much-needed training opportunities that explore the intersection between intercultural and global learning and diversity, equity and inclusion—work that has been traditionally siloed.
The partnership between Dickinson and IIE aims to bridge the gap by bringing practitioners, scholars and learners from across disciplines, backgrounds and cultures together to create new knowledge, best practices and collaborative approaches that grapple with the complexity of building trust and equity across cultures.
The two-day virtual workshop will focus on action-oriented learning. Participants are expected to participate in the full six hours and should be prepared for an additional three hours of independent work. Participants will:
- utilize case studies, small group discussions and interactive training sessions to help participants develop a deeper understanding of the theories and practice at the intersection of diversity, equity and inclusion and intercultural/global learning;
- see and begin the work of breaking down structural and organizational barriers that impede real change;
- and develop a plan for action and a network of other international education leaders from around the world.
All are encouraged to join this workshop, especially higher education professionals, faculty members and international educators across sectors, including NGOs, foundations and federal government agencies from around the world. IIENetwork members receive a special discounted rate.
