Description:

In this session, participants will learn about the Intercultural Development Continuum and understand the stages to developing one’s own intercultural and global mindset. This workshop, as such, focuses on the shift from multiculturalism to interculturality, delving into a reflection on what educators can do based on where they are on their individual (un)learning journeys. Rebeca brings a wealth of experience and will draw on that extensive portfolio to continue this important conversation about how to dismantle problematized and troubled practices to more enriching and meaningful ones. This workshop is typically packed when run at the University of Toronto, so be sure not to miss out.
