The Intersection of ICC Influencers and Policy Makers is pleased to announce a special presentation next week from Katherine Yngve; Equity-Centered Learning & Teaching Expert! Wednesday, July 3 at 11:30am US Eastern Time Title: Working Effectively with People & Institutions That Are Resistant to Change Often in our work, we want to advance a policy of change. To us, the need for change seems clearly spelled out by certain data or events; yet, when we advocate for change many people or stakeholder institutions are resistant. This hour-long interactive workshop will introduce 3 approaches to working effectively with change-resistors & some worksheets for proceeding, with plenty of time for reflection and sharing -- hopefully even a little hands-on case study work. Outcome: lowered frustration for World Council members who work at the intersection of intercultural education and policy! To register please click here: https://lnkd.in/dZgiGa7R...
