Welcome, Trust And Belonging
Intercultural Awareness As A Power With Practice
February 29 - 5:00 – 7:00 pm MT
“Authentic relationships build trust. Think about the real relationships that you have with your cultural others. What do you do to specifically build trust?”
~ Mary-Frances Winters, Inclusive Conversations: Fostering Equity, Empathy and Belonging Across Differences.
* How do you see both commonalities or differences?
* What are strengths and challenges of your conflict style?
* Where do you get stuck in intercultural interactions? What are your blind spots?
Power with is a NVC foundational distinction, a Partnership Paradigm that invites us to bring intentional awareness, shared power, and care in our communication. Expand your Intercultural development, racial & social justice awareness and capacity to see blind spots, celebrate strengths, and identify learning edges.
Understand conflict through a Power with practice and an intercultural lens to create ease, inclusion, a sense of belonging, and higher quality of connection.
With so many cultures in our world, no one knows all cultural groups, i.e. racial, class, ethnicity, language, ability - both physical and mental, age, gender identity, sexual identity, age, generational, geographic, and more.
Cultural competence is understanding objective and subjective ways of thinking and being within your own culture and of cultural others. Communication is subjective, with patterns of interpretations (beliefs, values, perceptions) and behavior learned from one’s group that guides individual and group activity.
