Intercultural Competence Workshops

"If you are looking to expand your organization's knowledge and competence of intercultural communication, One To World has the ideal program."

– University of Massachusetts-Amherst

"Everyone needs to be in workshops such as this because we all need... reminders of our own limitations, biases, approaches and how we can actively deconstruct negative explicit and implicit responses to achieve more effective communication, a sense of trust, and a space in which a person feels heard."

– New York University College of Arts & Sciences

One To World's Intercultural Competence Workshops provide a critical step towards fostering an environment of inclusion on campus and in the workplace. These dynamic workshops provide an opportunity to increase awareness about theories of intercultural competency and provide a safe space for conversations which challenge biases and increase metacognition.

Each workshop is comprised of a selection of modules which can be customized to meet the needs of your group.

  • Develop a deeper understanding of the issues international students face when studying and living in the U.S.
  • Gain an understanding of intercultural theories and research as it applies to international students
  • Master key intercultural communication techniques
  • Discover the cultural values and education systems in specific countries (i.e. China) and how they can impact an individual student's actions and decisions 
  • Create concrete action plans for integrating workshop concepts into their daily work
For Business and Nonprofit Professionals
