Best Practices For Living in an Intercultural Society.
Thursday 27 June at 19h30-21h30 in the Thurber Room

Juan Marcos is a social scientist with a background in psychology, sociology, philosophy and now a consultant working with companies on the subject of Diversity Management. Juan was Executive Director of Elan Intercultural and le Chef de pole migration et integration at Les Grands Voisins in Paris.

The Integration Workshop, “Best Practices For Living in an Intercultural Society," aims at raising awareness on how culture influences our everyday relationships, and how diversity can be used as an asset in a multicultural environment. During the workshop, we’ll learn how specific intercultural approaches can be used as tools to help us better integrate in society and influence positive behavior in a multicultural setting. In order to do this, we will analyze the notions of diversity, universalism and cultural relativism. Juan will introduce his ‘cross-cultural competences framework’ that will help us foster social engagement in a positive manner.

This workshop is part of the Serve YOUR City Volunteer Week, a week full of 14 different events and activities. …(such as a soup kitchen, a book drive, a refugee football game, a dance class, a film, an integration workshop and even a Pub Quiz to name a just a few of the activities). Many of the activities are scheduled at the ACP. The goal is to help raise funds to do more employment training and to feed the homeless and refugees in Paris.
