Program Specifics
Both programs follow the same format consisting of three modules:
Module I is a self awareness learning experience that explores the fact that everyone has cultural values. The main goal of module I is for participants to identify their own culture and to gain an understanding of how the values of their culture influence how they understand the behavior of others.
Module II introduces the participants to cross-cultural communication concepts and terminology that helps them gain an understanding of how individuals from different cultures communicate differently than those in the participants’ own cultures. It explores how these concepts are factors in the misunderstandings that often occur in cross-cultural relations.
Module III involves the application of knowledge and skills learned in Modules I and II, to real-life encounters in different contexts, by examining case studies and exercises on intercultural conflict. Trainers learn how to develop and use case studies with specific populations in mind and participate in mock presentations to hone their skills. Outcomes for Seminar Participants

Outcomes for Trainers
Learning Outcomes for Trainers You, as trainers, will learn from a participant’s point of view and then adapt that knowledge to fit your personal delivery style. You should come prepared with examples of cultural misunderstanding and cross-cultural communications needs of your own home group. Every trainer will be assigned a segment of the curriculum to prepare and lead in day two of the program.
Module I Outcomes Trainers will teach their own participants to understand how culture influences behavior. You will learn how to demonstrate cultural simulation exercises that will help participants learn how their own cultural values influence the interpretation of behaviors in other cultures.
Trainers will teach participants to identify aspects of their own culture. You will learn how to lead an exercise in creating a pictorial representation of one’s own culture and how to lead discussions in understanding the many facets of one’s culture.

Module II Outcomes Trainers will teach participants to identify at least three non-verbal communication elements that may differ across cultures.
