Event Overview

Many people are fascinated by the many different cultures found throughout the world. This class covers the five key differences between cultures and how they relate to the business and classroom setting. We also cover the five stages of cultural awareness (formerly known as culture shock) that people experience whenever they move into a new country, area within their current country, work environment, family, or even relationship.  

Any time you arrive in a new environment, you work through different stages of understanding and relationship -- and it can be important to understand what those are so that you can relate appropriately to others and also come to a greater understanding of those phases within yourself.

Throughout the class you learn direct examples to help you see the key differences between world cultures, broader cultures within the U.S., and get a greater insight into how your own culture filters your worldview. Class concludes with a game to see who can best name what areas of the world different traditions and unique customs come from. 

This event is also BYOB for those who want to be a bit more festive. Space is limited. Be sure to RSVP in advance.
