The next ICD Exercise is now available. Favour Ilolo, Stellina Ogedengbe, and Ifeoma Onyebuchi have written about challenging cultural stereotypes through intercultural dialogue. In addition to written instructions, this exercise comes with an infographic as well.
The objective of this exercise is to equip participants with strategies for engaging in dialogue to challenge stereotypes. Using a detailed infographic as the instructional guide, participants will learn to initiate constructive conversations, incorporating personal storytelling, active listening, counter-stories, reflection on cultural identity, creating a safe space, and following up. This exercise empowers participants to foster inclusivity and mutual understanding.
As with prior publications, ICD Exercises are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download the infographic, and on the link in the citation to download the exercise itself.

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.
