What was the session on "Authoritarian Suppression of Intercultural Consciousness" by Dr Milton J. Bennett like yesterday? Here are a few of the comments heard by the many who attended from around the globe: “Fabulous session!” “Wow – I realised that I have a lot to learn still!” “So enriching!” The Q+A after the presentation was equally exciting and informative. Thank you so much Milton for sharing your incredible expertise! The topic: Drawing on Julian Jayne’s theory of the origin of consciousness as an adaptation to otherness and Dr Milton J. Bennett’s studies on cult indoctrination, this presentation considered some intercultural implications of the worldwide resurgence of populist authoritarianism. Would you like to hear more? Dr Milton J. Bennett is one of our keynote speakers at the SIETAR Switzerland congress 26-28 June 2025 in Lucerne! Save the date... Thank you Jillaine Farrar (Schmidhauser), Gundhild A.

🌍 Thank you, Dr Chris Cartwright 🌍 for delivering such an insightful session this week on intercultural assessment as a learning tool! His expertise and knowledge shone through as we explored the complexities of assessing and developing cultural competencies. The session, "How do you know they know? … and equally important – how do they know they know?", challenged us to think deeply about learning outcomes and the models and measures that shape our practice. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of an assessment-to-development process in enhancing our intercultural work. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your wisdom and providing us with actionable insights that will surely impact how we apply these principles moving forward! #Intercultural #LearningOutcomes #GlobalCompetencies #sietar Arnaud Detourbet - le Chatelier, Jillaine Farrar (Schmidhauser), Leanne Hayes, Gundhild A.
