Intercultural Learning Activities

Questions Across Cultures (2 hours)
This activity challenges participants to consider the motive and meanings behind the questions they ask others and develop strategies for asking questions that are effective, appropriate, and satisfactory (as per Stella Ting-Toomey's work).
Mind the Gap (1 hour)
This activity guides participants as they explore the gap between cognitive and affective/behavioral competencies as it applies to negotiating third culture spaces via a case study as well as their own life experience(s).
Counter-Storytelling (45 minutes)
Counter-storytelling, a method often used in critical race theory, highlights the stories of individuals who are marginalized within society. It aims to push back against dominant narratives that often privilege certain voices over others.

Barbie Savior: A Lesson in Intercultural Empathy (1 hour)
This activity is inspired by an Instagram account called Barbie Savior. Barbie Savior calls attention to the issues with the well-intentioned—but often problematic—"voluntourism,” i.e. short-term volunteer trips. Barbie Savior parodies the voluntourism experience by placing Barbie in various scenes across Africa along with tone deaf captions that demonstrate Barbie’s lack of knowledge about her impact as a “voluntourist.” In this activity, participants will analyze one of Barbie Savior’s posts and coach Barbie on intercultural empathy and considering different perspectives.
