About others? handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665777964 - Being international minded person starts with knowing ourselves, our own culture, and our own values. We should be aware of that fact each cultural background may give a way of thinking or acting. To become more open-minded and good communicators, 
 - I have been through some awkward moments in different countries and through those resources I can infer that cultural shocks are the results of focusing on "what is happening" rather than "why it is happening". ]]> 2020-07-30 12:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665777964 The DNA Journey handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665778001 2020-07-30 12:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665778001 25 Negotiation Styles around the World handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665930961 2020-07-30 15:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665930961 How culture drives behaviors handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665931349 2020-07-30 15:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665931349 Cross-Cultural Communication handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665931501 2020-07-30 15:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665931501 handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665932893 “You have more in common with the world than you think.” ]]> 2020-07-30 15:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665932893 handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665933615 2020-07-30 15:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665933615 handedindar https://padlet.com/handedindar/z92n2ftbv90lyr2s/wish/665936974 It is clear from the diagrams that people from each culture may have a pattern on their habits of thinking, feeling, and communicating but those patterns shouldn't lead us to generalize it for each individual.

I will put strategies into the workshops to remind each other to share what we are seeing through our cultural glasses to understand, appreciate and benefit from… I think it is necessary to give participants opportunities and inspire them to think critically on resources and their own experiences about cultural commonalities and differences to set foundations for being international minded.
I will adopt “cultural glasses” in a way to promote considering different perspectives it can be through role plays or Y chart strategy. So, participants will have a chance to examine what something or some situation look like/sound like/feel like through different perspectives while practicing empathy. 
Here we focused on nationalities, i think we can transfer the knowledge and skills we have gained in this activity into other forms which may shape people's perspectives such as generation differences (for example giving commonalities of generation X, Y and Z) or gender equality  according to the context and needs of the participants. 

Here I also had a chance to transfer knowledge from the literature of adult learning "Transformative learning approach to adult education by Mezirow". If we relate it with our lives, it becomes more interesting to us. I am sure most of us have their memories back with those resources and enjoyed while understanding what is being open-minded. Through reflecting on the stories of real people and ours, we can provide learners to have a chance to challenge their own views and gain a new perspective.
