In a hyperco nnected yet fragmented world\, what role does education for intercultural understanding play? How useful is existing theory in addressing the challe nges of people moving between cultural worlds\, both by choice and by forc e?\n\nIt is true that much of the theory and research in the field of inte rcultural education has developed in the context of the US and Europe. Thi s raises a fundamental question: how do these theories and concepts match the needs of multicultural\, diverse societies across the world with diffe rent worldviews and life experiences?\n\nIn this session\, Emre Seven and Ishita Ray will share insights about:\n\n the needs and relevance of educ ation for intercultural understanding based on their experiences of workin g in Turkey and in India\;\n usefulness and challenges of using predomina nt WEIRD concepts in these contexts\, and\n working towards a more inclus ive and scientific approach in these contexts.\n\nThey will present result s from surveys carried out with experts in the field from India\, talk abo ut cross-border projects in Turkey and share learnings from their experien ces. \n\nThe larger goal of this session is not to divide the field of in tercultural education into WEIRD and non-WEIRD theory or approaches. It is to find our shared purpose as educators and practitioners in the field - to exchange insights that help us meet the needs of diverse audiences and contexts.\n\n \;\n\nSpeakers:\n\nIshita Ray is an Educational Consulta nt and Trainer in Business and Intercultural.
