SIETAR Ireland 2021 Congress

As Ireland, our organizations, and communities become more culturally diverse, our intercultural experiences and identities are becoming more complex. People across the country and business sectors are having more intercultural experiences, requiring a very specific mind set, skills set and heart set. Whether you were born in Ireland or arrived as refugees, migrants, or business expatriates, it is more important than ever before to  have a better understanding of culture and its role in our lives and work. Intercultural competence is imperative to having positive and effective intercultural experiences and a better understanding of our evolving identities.

SIETAR Ireland is inviting leaders and learners from all sectors and the community to come together to discover, learn, and share intercultural concepts so that we may be able to more effectively bridge our intercultural experiences and identities.

​This is a collaboration with SIETAR Ireland, Young SIETAR, World Stage Theater and Business Games bringing together leaders and experts in the intercultural field from Ireland, Europe and around the world for impactful week that includes presentations, panel discussions, interactive games, theatrical performances, and community engagement. 

​The World Stage Theater will give a sneak peek performance from "I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady from Rwanda" and a talk back with the audience, actors, and Director.

The Congress will open March 12th with a keynote presentation followed by a panel discussion. Additional congress sessions will take place online Tuesday, March 16th to Thursday, March 18th.

Young SIETAR will host a Community Dialogue and series of virtual Cultural Immersion events to more deeply explore Irish culture throughout the Congress.

​

Business Games creates customized learning experiences and will host their Aliens and Astronauts, an interactive and experiential learning activity designed to teach participants how to navigate multi-cultural environments in a respectful and understanding way.
