CID Poster #3: Intercultural Dialogue (reprise)

CID Posters(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is the third of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, then in her role as CID intern. The quote by Peter Praxmarer does not come from a publication, but from a Skype conversation we had on April 25, 2017. I was struck by what he said, and how nicely it summed up the concept of intercultural dialogue, and requested permission to turn the definition into a poster, and he graciously agreed. In terms of visual design, Linda indicated “art” by the picture frame, and “science” by the design in the background. Hopefully this definition will find a wide audience, because I think it does a better and more concise job of explaining intercultural dialogue than other definitions I’ve seen.

CID Poster #1: Intercultural Communication/Competence/Dialogue (reprise)

CID Posters(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is the first of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, then in her role as CID intern. This one provides a quick and easy way to understand, and differentiate between, the concepts of “intercultural communication,” “intercultural competence,” and “intercultural dialogue,” using a rooster and a sheep to represent members of different cultures (and she notes that the animals are vector designs by vecteezy.com). The article where these explanations of these concepts (as well as lots of other concepts) were published is:

As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, where specific quotes are provided, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to design that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.

CID Poster #14: 10 Ideas

CID Posters

This is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit who was the CID intern in 2017, and who has now returned as an occasional graphic design consultant.

This poster illustrates the recommendations of the CID Focus Groups Report for UNESCO’s Futures of Education Initiative to add a 10th idea to their list of 9 ideas, as described in their report, Education in a post-COVID world: Nine ideas for public action.

CID Poster 14: 10 Ideas

In the report, we ask that they consider intercultural dialogue as essential to learning to live together.

Intercultural dialogue permits not merely living together with a wide range of other people but living together with (and despite) our differences, taking empathy, compassion, and respect for all as a given.

CID Poster #13: The Blind Men and the Elephant

CID PostersThis is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit who was the CID intern in 2017, and who has now returned as graphic design consultant. It illustrates the common expression “the blind men and the elephant” used to describe what can happen when only parts of something are examined, rather than the whole.

CID Poster 13: The blind men and the elephant:

The image was prepared to illustrate the first of the the newest CID series: In Dialogue: CID Occasional Papers, to be published shortly, by Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. The quote integrated into the poster comes from that paper. It says:

The different approaches to intercultural dialogue might be described as a set of blind men studying individual aspects of the elephant, never realizing there is an entire beast. Those who have stepped back to see the entire animal deserve special attention.

CID Poster #12: The Elephant in the Room

CID PostersThis is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit who was the CID intern in 2017, and who has now returned as graphic design consultant. It illustrates the common expression “the elephant in the room” used to describe something which is obvious but not being discussed openly.

CID Poster 12: The elephant in the room

The image was prepared to illustrate the first of the the newest CID series: In Dialogue: CID Occasional Papers, to be published shortly, by Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. The quote integrated into the poster comes from that paper. It says:

Intercultural dialogue might be called the elephant in the room, a metaphor referring to something obvious which is none-theless ignored. Most often, practitioners and diplomats use the term intercultural dialogue, but they rarely define it, and conduct little to no research in order to discover how it works, but only hold it up as a desired end. Academics, who certainly conduct research, rarely use this term, thus have rarely studied it, although some research by other names sheds light on how it works.

CID Poster #11: Language and Intercultural Communication

CID PostersThis is CID Poster #11, designed by Brandon Peña, illustrating a quote related to KC78: Language and Intercultural Communication by Jane Jackson. This is the first designed by someone other than Linda J. de Wit. It came about because he is a student of Anna Klyueva, at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, and she turned posters into a course project (other faculty are welcome to do so as well, of course).

CID Poster #9: Strangers into Friends

CID PostersThis is the last of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit in her role as CID intern, and the first to illustrate a proverb. The relevance of proverbs for intercultural dialogue can be explained by a quote from Harold V. Cordry, who collected the one used here as well as many, many others: “For as my collection grew, I found myself increasingly fascinated by the striking similarity of proverbs from dissimilar cultures in different times and different places, and by the fundamental universality of human experience which the proverbs so clearly reflect.” (Cordry, H. V., 1997, The multicultural dictionary of proverbs, Jefferson, NC: McFarland, p. ix.). My thanks to Prof. Wolfgang Mieder for recommending this book (as well as others) when asked about how to locate potentially relevant proverbs. The full citation to the book is also provided at the bottom of the poster.

CID Poster #8: Intercultural Competence/Intercultural Dialogue

CID PostersThis is the next of the posters designed by Linda J. de Wit, in her role as CID intern. The quote is intended to clarify the concept of intercultural dialogue by showing how it relates to an older, more frequently used concept, intercultural competence. The photo of water used as background is Linda’s own. The citation for the quote is:
