Navigating Across Cultures
60 minutes
Provided by the Center for Global Study and Engagement (CGSE) Dickinson is a global campus and thus it is important for all of us to continue to work on building strong intercultural skills. A starting point is becoming more self-aware of our own identity and exhibiting genuine curiosity. Our identities are the way that we present to the world. Sometimes self-identified, other times imposed, our interactions with each other are influenced by who we are. Identities are shaped by the values and attitudes of the cultural groups that we belong to. It is increasingly evident that in our interdependent world, we must do the work necessary to build bridges across cultures, starting with an understanding of who we are and how our identities shape our perceptions with a goal of becoming better intercultural communicators.
