Teaching the skills of intercultural communication and empathy across the generations

This presentation was first given at the NAFSA Region V conference in Schaumburg, IL, on October 19, 2018, 8:30am, and repeated at the Region VI conference in Columbus, OH, on November 6, 2018, 11:30am.

As each new generation comes into the public eye as college students and then as new employees, the past generations do not necessarily describe the upcoming generation as empathetic, and current generations do not necessarily look back on their ancestors as being empathetic either, so how do teacher and learner enter into a productive dialogue about how to grow in empathy?  The attached presentation offers tools for facilitating conversations about how to grow in intercultural empathy.
