Intercultural Activity Toolkit

Intercultural Activity Toolkit Legend: Funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, this toolkit is the first in a series of Web-based and printed practice resource publications that will directly benefit practitioners. This toolkit is a collection of hands-on, group-oriented activities that can be used by international educators with the goal of internationalizing the campus. Activity sizes range from person-to-person to campus-wide. In this toolkit you will find activities you can use in your orientations as well as other activities that will suggest ways for spreading internationalization beyond your office or department. There are large-budget activities and shoestring-budget activities. No matter which area of international education you specialize in, or what the size of your institution is, this toolkit has activities you will be able to put to use.
