The Global Intercultural Dialogue: Finding Connections and Creating Meaning Across Cultures

Global intercultural dialogues are online events that provide students at women’s tertiary educational institutions the opportunity to discuss the challenges they face as young women balancing school, work, and other obligations and to exchange their perspectives on a range of topics, including dating and marriage norms, the importance of women’s universities, and preparing for life after graduation, among others. Institutions take turns hosting these events, which occur two or three times annually. In this paper, the authors describe their experiences with global intercultural dialogues, including hosting and preparing students to participate in events. They present student feedback and reflect on their experiences with the events.
