Cultivating Critical Reflection and Cross-Cultural Competence through Observations Made in Two Study Abroad Programs: We promise this is not just a slideshow!

Explore how study abroad experiences can foster critical reflection and transform students' agency and communion orientations in our activity-based session. Participants will engage in dynamic exercises, including a "Communal-Agentic Crosswalk" and a cross-cultural scenario challenge, designed to simulate real-world intercultural experiences. Through individual reflection, group discussions, and interactive debriefing, you will gain practical strategies to facilitate self-awareness and leadership development in your management courses. We will reveal findings from two international programs, offering valuable insights into how context shapes personal growth. Walk away with ready-to-use tools for fostering reflection in diverse learning environments. How will you navigate the communal-agentic crosswalk?
