Beginner Conversational German

Hola amigo! Como esta? If you want to understand and expand on that basic greeting, then this course is for you. Immerse yourself in Hispanic culture and learn the basics of this language. This course is designed for everyone, whether you’re going to a Spanish-speaking country, addicted to Spanish films or telenovela, or just interested in learning another language. No previous experience in Spanish is necessary. Instructor: Felipe Guzman

This introduction to the German language suits those who might know how to say “Ja” or “Nein,” but little more. It also suits those whose German was learned from grandparents, but who have not practiced what they learned. Both groups will complement one another. Learners who can understand and use some vocabulary will inspire novice learners. The learners coming from a German background will have confidence to use their knowledge. The mix results in a plus for both groups. Lessons will include some, print materials, written notes, and basic grammar. The Internet offers so much to enhance classroom instruction but will not be used more than to “spice up” the basic lessons based on communication. Instructor: Barbara Watson

CERTIFIED INTERCULTURAL WORKSHOP SERIES The Certified Intercultural Training Program offers three workshops on state-of-the art practices and techniques for turning cultural needs and challenges into opportunities for individual and collective growth. This intercultural training program emphasizes “walking the talk”. As it overall goal, it aims at facilitating collaboration and fruitful partnerships between individuals from different cultural backgrounds through shared projects in specific communities and organizations. In turn, this training at both the personal and organizational levels provides groups and communities with effective strategies for countering different forms of cultural conflict such as racism and radicalization through day-to-day activities. Delivery of these workshops includes preplanning and evaluative activities with MHC and GV so as to tailor the training offered to the needs and expectations of participants as well as those of the institutions and groups they represent. The workshops can also provide for guest speakers, notably Dr. Michel Zekulin (University of Australia), on the related issue of Radicalization to Violence Research.

Level 1 Workshop. Building Intercultural Relationships (Learning to See) (Duration: 6 hours). This introductory workshop firstly offers participants strategies by which to “learn to learn” about culture. Through a three step methodology (see, understand, act), they acquire a repertoire of practical skills for building healthy and ethnical intercultural partnerships in specific personal and professional contexts. Learners then apply these cognitive skills to their lived experience so as to heighten their awareness and sensitivity to the underlying norms, values and beliefs of cultural phenomenon. A filmed dramatized sequence concludes the workshop experience with an area simulation exercise, allowing participants to transfer their intercultural skills to an unfamiliar cultural environment.

Level 2 Workshop. Building Intercultural Dialogue (Learning to Understand) (Duration: 6 hours). The intermediate workshop further develops the capacity of participants to build strong communicative relationships and to establish dialogue with individuals from different cultures. Based on the use of cultural mediators or interpreters, learners acquire a second set of skills that give them deeper insight into dynamics of a specific culture, especially in relation to its more informal or “hidden” dimension” as well as to its historical development.

@MHC_CS

Based on this deeper understanding, the learning process offers data-gathering techniques for identifying systemic cultural needs and for building working intercultural collaborations by which to meet the needs identified. As in the first workshop, a concluding filmed dramatized sequence allows participants to transfer their intercultural skills to an unfamiliar cultural environment through an area simulation exercise.

Level 3 Workshop. Intercultural Problem-Solving and Project Management (Learning to Act) (Duration: 6 hours). The third workshop consolidates the practices and techniques covered in the two previous sessions. Participants are required to analyze a specific cultural context of their choice and to prioritize the systemic needs to be addressed within that environment. Emphasis is placed on enhancing the individual communicative style of learners in effectively presenting their cultural analysis to others. Participants then receive creativity training for designing projects by which to meet that need targeted, in relation to their particular skills and interests. This workshop presents project management guidelines and strategies for assuring appropriate resources, mentoring and feedback when implementing an initiative for social action. This advanced workshop stresses the importance of individuals as agents for systemic creative change and innovation within culturally diverse settings and organizations.

Training the Trainer Program Participants having completed the workshop series are eligible for the Training the Training Program, in conjunction with collaborating postsecondary institutions. This 3 credit, 36 hour course presents the theoretical and educational foundations on which the workshops are designed. The program also gives an historical overview of the major advances achieved in the academic disciplines with respect to culture, interdisciplinary research and social change. Dr. Roger Parent, Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta, has designed and field-tested the workshop process nationally and internationally over a twenty year period in academic, government and organizational circles, including Aboriginal and First Nations communities. Award-wining academic publications, films and audio-visual learning resources in French and English support and enrich the learning process.

Wonder About Words

Life can be busy and stressful. It is essential to find ways to slow down and take care of your mental health. We have all heard about the benefits of mindfulness, being in the moment and mediation, but how can this translate into real life? A mala is more than just a beautiful necklace or bracelet. They have been used for centuries as payer aids and increasingly as a way to aid in mediation or yoga practice. Not only can finished malas be used for mediation, but the act of creating them can be a form of mediation and a way to ease stress. All materials needed to make a complete mala will be provided. Use of tools needed, step by step instructions and guidance, information about the properties of the crystals or wooden beads you have chosen for your mala are also included. There will be a non-denominational guided group meditation with our newly created malas as a way to close out the session.
