I visited a number of training websites this week to see how they structure their courses.
Most of them were business oriented. Two of those were INCA that is located in England and has multiple pdf files in English, French, German, and Spanish. They have personal inventories, video situations and role plays on line that are focused upon developing culturally aware business executives.
I also visited the Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning which offer school site seminars and workshops for helping teachers become more effective in teaching the culturally diverse student populations.
Just as a lark I looked up the Summer Institute for Linguistics which I had been familiar with in the 70's and found that they have a complete program of multicultural training and through their links found another course at Warner University's HEART program which is designed for training people that want to do overseas compassion work in other countries.
The one thing that was facinating on the SIL website was the concept of developing indigenous leadership using their community...that is using the cultural methods coming from their milieu to develop new leadership within that community. That was big for me.
