Join us for a free Intercultural Competency Workshop
In a university community shaped by people, ideas, and experiences from around the world, how we communicate and collaborate across cultures is not optional, it is essential. This interactive session invites you to examine your assumptions, strengthen your cultural awareness, and build practical skills for more inclusive and effective engagement.
Come ready to participate in hands-on activities, reflect on real workplace scenarios, and connect with colleagues from across the university. You will leave with insights and tools you can immediately apply in your day-to-day work, along with a chance to win prizes.
This workshop is offered by Global Connect in partnership with the Department of Professional Studies, Faculty of Education.
As a QGC member, your voice and presence help make these spaces welcoming and meaningful. We encourage you to attend and to share this invitation with post-docs, faculty, staff, and anyone who may benefit.
We hope you’ll join us as we continue strengthening belonging and connection across our Queen’s community
