Session 1: Introductions and Cultural Intelligence

In this session of Designing Your Life in the United States, you’ll start building community and explore concepts such as perception, culture as a construct, and stereotypes. You’ll learn about the most important cultural values in the US and compare them to your own background and personal preferences. The learning goes beyond cognitive understanding to include physical and emotional awareness as well. The content for this class is based on extensive research in the field of intercultural theory.
