Intercultural Encounters On The Web

This weeks International Marketing Review looks at some of the different Intercultural Encounters that are taking place or are available on the web. I hope you enjoy them.

Duncan Mason presents Culture Shock: A Fish Out Of Water posted at New Okanagan College saying “A reading exercise based on the work of Kalvero Oberg. There are several ways that you can use this interactive reading on culture shock. I suggest that you read the entire passage through completely before reading the notes in the box on the right. This will familiarize you with the “gist” of the text before you need to understand the details.”
Frances Dávila presents Group Offers New Perspective on Muslim Issues posted at The Hoya saying “On Feb. 18 in an Intercultural Center classroom, Georgetown students witnessed a coming-of-age story exploring an affirmation of identity and female freedom of expression in the film “Dunia,” presented by Project Nur.
The event included a belly-dance performance and a presentation by Hazami Barmada, president and executive director of the Progressive Muslim Network and active member of the Muslim Women in the Arts organization. The film’s protagonist is a victim of female genital mutilation; the experience restricts her studies in art and dance because she is unable to experience desire. Showing this film on campus raised the issues of FGM and women’s rights, but more importantly brought to light the diversity within the Muslim community at home and internationally.”

Global SchoolNet‘s mission is to support 21st century learning. We engage teachers and students in meaningful project learning exchanges with people around the world to develop literacy and communication skills, foster teamwork and collaboration, encourage workforce preparedness and create multi-cultural understanding. We prepare youth for full participation as productive and effective citizens in an increasing global economy.

Think of Multiculturalpedia as an encyclopedia where you can enjoy learning about other cultures. Here the wisdom of various cultures of the world is introduced. As you use this encyclopedia, without realising it, you will gain deep respect and reverence for different cultures and people. Even after closing this encyclopedia you will find that it lives on when reading newspaper headlines or when watching the news on television. You will have a new concern for peoples to whom you had previously never paid much attention.
