How we communicate is affected by our cultural values and the understandings we hold of others as individuals and members of groups. In this course, you will be challenged to explore your perspectives about culture, diversity, and inclusion in order to recognize how these perspectives affect your practice of communication. You will examine communication challenges and explore tools and strategies to develop your communication skills for an intercultural society in which culture is understood as a complex, mutable, and variable reality. By selecting and using various communications media, you will compose messages for a variety of audiences. You will also assess examples and approaches to intercultural communications applicable to the workplace with particular emphasis on communicating within a diverse team.
