Adapt or Be Yourself

The ability to adapt in new or unfamiliar situations is a crucial life skill. However, in cross-cultural interactions, it can be difficult to decide when we should adapt to a different culture’s expectations, or when it might be more appropriate to refrain from enacting unfamiliar customs and norms. Therefore, the goal of this activity is to guide participants through this decision-making process (using Stella Ting-Toomey's model of Transcultural Communication Competence) and allow them to understand and reflect on their ability to adapt.
