Renowned scholar, Dr. Darla Deardorff, UNESCO Chair of Intercultural Competences at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, will facilitate sessions for the campus community to learn more about a highly successful intercultural methodology called Story Circles that has been piloted in all five UNESCO regions around the world as well as in the virtual environment. 

UNESCO Story Circles works with any group of people in a wide variety of settings using little to no resources. This structured yet adaptable intercultural methodology is used to practice key intercultural competencies such as listening for understanding and are a powerful tool for promoting cross-cultural dialogue, fostering empathy and also learning about oneself.
