We will explore interactive exercises, simulations and facilitation techniques you can add or hone within your own trainer toolbox. Special attention will be given to:
- Applying and adjusting new pedagogical approaches, activities and tools that appropriate in multiple Differences training contexts,
- Understanding how ‘tried-and-true’ methods or pedagogical activities/elements you may already use can be enhanced and adapted to be effective for different strands of work within the Differences field
In this course, you will learn how to help yourself—and those you work with—so that you/they can better:
- understand and be able to apply facilitation methods that cross the IC-DEI divide—and what types of adjustments are necessary to use in either/both
- more effectively use the debriefing portion of IC and DEI training activities (and overcoming potential challenges that can emerge in the debriefing process) in order to help trainees create more impactful meaning out of the experiences you facilitate with them
This course uses a combined interactive and reflective approach in which you’ll both participate in sample activities of the methods shared, and then have meta-level discussions about the processes and pedagogies behind them in order to be able to adjust and apply them in your own work.
This course is for you if are a trainer/multiplier/educator who is
- newer to practice within the field,
- ready to “level up” your toolkit,
- already familiar with some DEI training practices but not Intercultural communication training practices—or vice versa
You should already have at least a preliminary understanding of and experience with —either through your own work or participation in ‘training for trainers’ type programs— training and (adult) learning best practices.

CONSIDERATIONS
Neuroscience is often considered a topic beyond the reach of daily practitioners, many of whom may not have a background in the hard sciences. While a general understanding of ?human biology and physiology? is helpful, and we will touch on the anatomy and chemistry involved, the core concepts we will address do not require a specialized understanding in this area.
