In an increasingly networked and mobile world, intercultural understanding and communication have become vital skills. This webinar will consider the different ways in which to think about and build these skills across a range of levels, from society-to-society through community-to-community to person-to-person. Special attention will be paid to the challenges posed to intercultural understanding and communication by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This webinar session, organized by the John Molson Executive Centre, is being offered as part of Concordia’s CU at Home initiative, a virtual learning series that offers webinars on a variety of topics.
