Building on the success of the AFS internal Intercultural Learning Week, AFS International is happy to launch a series of webinars for external audiences during International Education Week (November 13-17, 2017) entitled AFS Global Competence Webinars. Check out the website to read more about the webinars and presenters, and to find registration information.
During this week, AFS will offer five webinars lead by experts and renowned interculturalists like Dr. Darla Deardorff and Dr. Mick Vande Berg – all free, in English and open to the public. The webinars will tackle:
- intercultural competence in the classroom
- gaining a better understanding of the Muslim world
- supporting the intercultural learning of host families
- intercultural competence assessments
- global skills development for 18+ mobility programs
Please share this info with your external networks including alumni, schools and teachers! We will follow up with a communications toolbox you can translate, adapt and use, including raw files, social media posts, e-mail template(s), etc.
This initiative is an excellent way for us to show our intercultural expertise and experience, and the importance of intercultural learning in the field of International Education. This webinar series enables us to expand access to intercultural education and tackle all of our strategic priorities.
Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions!
