If you have an exercise you’ve used that works, and you would like to share it, please submit it. All authors will be asked to answer the same set of questions, and to make the exercises available for others to use, thus these are being published with a Creative Commons license (as is the case for all CID publications). If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.

In response to the call for intercultural dialogue exercises, Marcella LaFever submitted one immediately. We’ve worked together on the template, and now have the first exercise ready to present. After thinking about it, it seems obvious that, rather than just publishing quick notes in multiple formats, these should be consistently presented and formatted, and so Intercultural Dialogue Exercises becomes the next publication series for CID.

The goal is to share best practices for how to facilitate intercultural dialogues. The most likely context will be as part of a course, or a workshop, but these may come from a wide variety of occasions and for a variety of audiences. This particular exercise was designed for a a first-year Intercultural Communication course based in Canada, as one response to having to move the course into a fully online format as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This was also designed to occur over a semester, rather than in a single class meeting.

As with prior publications, ICD Exercises are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download.
