Description
In collaboration with Together for Humanity, AISWA is offering a workshop for school leaders and teachers from all disciplines. This workshop aims to enhance intercultural understanding, provide classroom strategies, and guide the development of a whole-school plan. Kate Xavier, the Professional Learning Lead from Together for Humanity, will present successful examples of whole-school approaches to building intercultural competence. Participants will engage in discussions about scenarios and strategies for handling various situations. With intercultural understanding now part of the mandated curriculum, schools are required to upskill their staff in this area. Join us to access valuable resources, learn from other schools and teachers, and create a roadmap for your school.
