Registration Open for Spring Global Partner Certificate Workshops
The CGE offers the Global Partner Certificate to FSU’s faculty and staff who are interested in developing a well-rounded understanding of diverse cultures and cross-cultural communication skills.
The certificate requires participation in four required Bridging Cultures workshops and three additional intercultural events, programs, or activities. Spring 2018 workshop dates and times include the following. For more information about how you can register for the workshops, visit cge.fsu.edu/globalpartner.
| Workshop Name | Date | Start Time | End Time | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bridging Cultures I: Intro to Intercultural Communication | 2/9/18 | 9:30am | 12pm | Globe, 2300 |
| Bridging Cultures II: Cross-Cultural Encounters with IES | 2/23/18 | 9:30am | 12pm | Globe, 2300 |

Through these workshops, participants learn about intercultural communication differences across a variety of cultures, how to effectively manage intercultural conflict, and more about themselves in the process.
“Participants complete an Intercultural Effectiveness Scale test, which is a tool used to analyze each person’s current values, attitudes, beliefs and actions,” said Elcin Haskollar, Ph.D., the CGE’s Intercultural Education Specialist. “This helps them to identify the areas they need to develop to be more effective at cross-cultural engagement.”
Every week the participants receive a newsletter that highlights a series of events they can attend. Additionally, Bridging Cultures workshops are held at The Globe on Global Café dates to help participants fulfill the requirements of the certificate.
Graduate students who have graduate assistantships and interns who are OPS employees may also enroll. Graduate students who are not employees of FSU may contact Elcin Haskollar, Ph.D. at ehaskollar@fsu.edu for registration information.
Any student group, center or department can request a free, customized training from Elcin Haskollar, Ph.D. at ehaskollar@fsu.edu or 850-645-4793.
