FOCUS FOR THIS AFTER HOURS PROGRAM

Join IDD Expert Dr. Mai Nguyen to understand cultural neuroscience connections, i.e. those between culture, cultural values, and acculturalisation with genes and brain using an interdisciplinary approach that fosters the potential of a multicultural mind and enables fear-free cross-cultural management.

This session will blend cognitive discussions about key concepts and frameworks with real-world cases and opportunities to consider how you might apply the knowledge and strategies with your clients.

HOW IT WORKS 

Our After Hours: Around the Table with the Experts series features one or more distinguished faculty and is designed for global peers who want to go deeper to strengthen their own expertise. 

2-HOUR SESSION – APRIL 24 – structured format + in-depth Q&A conversational format*

  1. Learn how to make the brain work for you to develop a multicultural mind and a fear-free approach to cultural differences,
