Managing Cultural Diversity

Elizabeth Entz (Lethbridge Public Library - Read On Adult Literacy and Learning)

Location: Lethbridge Public Library

Region(s): South

Join us as Lionel Laroche (keynote speaker at 2015 Literacy and Learning Symposium) talks to literacy providers, volunteer tutors, and those who work with immigrants about what we can do to bring immigrants and Canadians together.  Session will involves activities and a Q&A session.

Culturally different people don’t just look different; they think and communicate differently because they are brought up in different ways. When culturally different people interact together, these differences often result in misunderstandings that lead to frustration, hurt feelings, rework, missed opportunities and unmet expectations. Using insightful diagrams, powerful anecdotes and experiential exercises, this workshop analyzes the root causes of cross-cultural misunderstanding in order to provide concrete, tried-and-tested solutions to turn cross-cultural challenges into a source of creativity and innovation.
