Seminars

If your company, office or District is in need of a "hands-on" intercultural experience, this seminar is designed for you. Time needed: three hours preferred, to include processing and background.

Number of participants: Minimum - 20 Maximum - 35

Space needs: Two rooms

Seminar: Introduction on the Immigrant situation followed by a 1 ½ hour role-play, (Bafa-Bafa). This "game" divides participants into two groups and teachs them separate cultures before having them "visit" the other culture.

In this microcosm, people quickly develop emotions and responses experienced by those coming into our culture and communities. The culmination is to review these reactions and then relate them to present community realities.

Closings might include question and answer time and/or presentation on some of the most common cultural clashes and misunderstandings.
