Intercultural (I) SIG

SIG - Intercultural I-SIG's main goals are to promote intercultural programs in all of the regions, with the goal of helping promote intercultural understanding and increased appreciation for cultural differences; to create more opportunities for networking for those doing intercultural work; to create and organize resources that could be used to present intercultural programs and activities, and to work more closely with the knowledge communities (KCs), especially the Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship KC, as a resource for KCs as well as assisting them in their inclusion of intercultural content in their sessions, etc.
