Malinke Storytelling: An Intercultural Journey

Thursday 11/18/21 11:00am-12:00pm

Location: PSU 415 Rough Ridge Room

At the base of any international travel is the opportunity to have an intercultural interaction. We talk about the importance of developing our intercultural competence skills. But what does this really mean? It could take a lifetime to thoroughly grasp the concept of intercultural competence! In this workshop, we will focus on one tiny piece of this: non-verbal communication. To achieve these goals, we’re going to dive into a classic West African story about love, deception, and animals!
