Introduction...
Dear Friend/Colleague:With more than 3,000 members, the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research is the world's largest interdisciplinary network for students and professionals working in the field of intercultural communication.The main purpose of SIETAR is to encourage and support the development and application of values, knowledge and skills that promote and reinforce beneficial and long-lasting intercultural and inter-ethnic relations at the individual, group, organization and community levels.
SIETAR Chapters are a point of connection for people from many cultural and professional backgrounds who…
These activities take place in multicultural or cross-cultural settings within national borders or around the world.
- work to expand worldviews and build skills for successful interactions in intercultural arenas;
- continually search for and provide avenues to effective relations across cultures;
- and engage in research related to cultural dimensions between and among individuals, organizations and political entities.
We envision the development of SIETAR in Alberta, in collaboration with its members from rural and urban Alberta, to provide opportunities through: symposia, conferences, networking, education, training, research, tools and resources.We believe that we must all work toward effective and peaceful relations among the peoples of the world, not despite differences but because of them. It is a collective work that requires the efforts of many caring and concerned individuals who support each other in moving purposefully toward this common goal. We invite you to become a part of SIETAR in Alberta.
