B | Using Film for Intercultural Education: A Developmental Approach
This workshop will introduce a research-based, film-driven approach to intercultural education, drawing on an adaptation of Milton Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity. Using a variety of film clips, this interactive session will explore how to sequence films and facilitate discussion in a manner most likely to improve multicultural understanding and intercultural competence.Faculty: Carlos Cortés and Louise Wilkinson
