Bridging Cultures Short Course

their relationship to culture. Furthermore, we focus on intercultural communication on various levels, from non-violent communication as a tool useful for any individual, to skills of cooperation in diverse work settings. We situate the topic of multicultural understanding within the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina, exploring multiculturalism in this state and focusing on peacebuilding, but we also approach it from a large scale point of view, introducing the notion of systems of oppression, which we further explore through literature and theater. Finally, we wrap up the course with a focus on social activism in order to equip our participants with the tools necessary to act within their home communities. The course will be carried through an experiential learning approach that encourages engagement, action, and reflection rather than just observation and listening. A group of facilitators, but also guest speakers representing a range of local NGOs, will deliver workshops and activities. These activities will take place either fully or partially online this year.
