In the summer of 2021, my colleague Leslie Wagner-Ould Ismail and I discussed collaborating on a workshop for students in the Global Leadership program at Dartmouth College. The world was amid a global pandemic that affected educational programming and activities, as well as the psychological health of students, staff, and faculty. The workshop series presented an opportunity to support students in developing global leadership and intercultural competence and foster social connections with peers and personal wellbeing.
In our article "Cultivating Inner-and Inter-Cultural Connections, Leadership, and Wellbeing" we provide an outline and brief description of workshop activities to inspire other educators and support students in their personal, academic, and professional pursuits. Click here to access the article.
