Part I – January 19: 10am – 12pm Developing Language of Cultural Intelligence – Building a Living Glossary
Understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion in the post-2020 world requires a new language, and a new vocabulary, which is communicated through the lens of cultural intelligence. This language reflects a judgment-free perspective, which serves to bring different groups of people together through a common understanding, and appreciation of the lived experience of others. This module will educate the participants on the common language of DEI in order to create common understanding, and common connections among divergent groups of people within an organization.
