Navigating Fresno State

Peaceful Problem Solving in a Multicultural Environment
(part of the President's Cultural Competency Certificate program)
Fri., Mar 2, 10 a.m. - noon, Vintage Room
A person acts according to the values and norms of his or her culture; another person holding a different worldview might interpret his or her behavior from an opposite standpoint. This situation creates misunderstanding and can lead to conflict. The demography and cultural attitudes of our campus population are constantly changing, which increases chances of cross- cultural conflicts. This interactive workshop introduces participants to methods and analytical concepts necessary to evaluate peace, violence, injustice, and the like in the society today; and offers techniques/strategies to build, support and repair relationships.
