Same But Different: An Intercultural Training Workshop Manual.
Ching, Judith; And Others
This manual is a product of the Intercultural Training Program (ICT) Workshops which were originally designed to provide experiential training to Hawaii's teachers, students, and administrators. The training, however, may be useful to anyone interested in acquiring the experience and knowledge necessary to communicate effectively with varied cultural groups. The ICT combines the characteristics of culture-general and culture-specific training. As a culture-general training program it strives to increase the self-awareness and sensitivity of the participants. In its culture-specific training, the ICT uses research data dealing with four of Hawaii's major ethno-cultural groups. This manual explains the training of the staff, the development of materials for the content of the training, the setting up of the mechanics for bringing about the workshop, the actual day-by-day reporting of the workshop, and the evaluation of the workshop. Among the activities are the following: non-verbal acquaintance and introduction, palm pushing, energy passing, row exercise, mirror emotions, head-facial touching, chain massage, and trust fall.
