You are invited to join the Lunch Talk #40 at the Faculty of Education, UIII

Prof. Suwarsih Madya, Ph.D. (Lecturer at the Faculty of Education, Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia) will share about: “Intercultural Learning and Its Potential Contribution to Global Collaboration”.

Intercultural learning has a big potential to contribute to global collaboration. Such collaboration is indeed a necessity today since peoples from different cultures need to strive to answer myriad challenges which are inherently transnational and interdisciplinary. Through intercultural learning, individuals develop awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to interact effectively and appropriately with people from different cultural backgrounds. They are acquiring intercultural competence, which consists of knowledge (cultural self-awareness, culture specific knowledge, socio-linguistic awareness, grasp of global issues and trends), skills (listening, observing, evaluating using patience and perseverance, viewing the world from others’ perspectives), and attitudes (respect, openness, curiosity, discovery). With such competence peoples from different countries, institutions, and/or groups are able to collaborate to find a solution to the pressing global issues. Effective cultural learning will ensure the acquisition of intercultural competence, which will in turn ensure effective global collaboration.
