Mind, Brain and Culture–New Paradigms in Intercultural Understanding
(Germany – February 23-24)
Blended learning workshop: Two day intensive February 23-24 9:00-17:00 ; Online before and afterwards.
Description
We invite a small group of experienced intercultural trainers, educators and coaches who are keen to re-examine their profession from a cognitive neuro-scientific perspective
What will we do?
In this highly interactive and intensive seminar and blended learning community, we will explore how new research in cognitive neuroscience is revolutionizing our understanding of culture and mind. Shifting paradigms create challenges and opportunities for intercultural trainers and educators. In this workshop, you will be introduced to new research in culture and cognition. The facilitators invite you to re- examine basic concepts including: definitions of culture, cultural difference, bias, language and culture, culture and identity. These new conceptualizations might well change your approach to intercultural training and education — especially the way you foster self-reflection. You will be inspired to meet the challenges of our profession in light of increasingly polarized opinions.
Join us and …
– become familiar with current research in culture and cognition
– re-examine key concepts from the neurocognitive perspective
– sharpen your vision on the intercultural mind
