1. Building CCE’s capacity for cross cultural
learning
Panel Discussion with:
Marcia Eames Sheavly, Margaret Smith, Paul Treadwell
ESP Lambda Chapter Annual Meeting

2. Why Cross Cultural?
• We encounter different cultures in a variety of
contexts:
– Through international collaboration
– By engaging in service learning
• International
• Domestic
– In our own communities
• In order to solve problems, in common, we have to
work with, in, and across cultures in a skillful and
aware way.
3. Why does it matter?
• Changing communities in New York State
NYS County Percentage Change in Hispanic Pop., 1990-2009
4. Beyond our borders
• Increasing international collaboration is occurring
around issues of common interest that cross borders:
– Climate change
– Food security
– Civic participation
• Immersion in other cultures can lead to shifts in
perspective and deeper understanding.
• The internet is borderless (mostly)
5. Building our capacity for cross cultural
engagement
• We hope to develop a community of practice within
CCE that can:
– Connect existing programs and practitioners
– Support ongoing work
– Engage interested staff, faculty and communities
– Cultivate new and emerging opportunities for cross
cultural learning

25. Educators…
• Attend several classes, travel over spring break, and
work with students on final projects.
• Interact with, and mentor students, in topics related
to community food security, youth
development, horticulture/agriculture...
• Model facilitation, teaching, positive communication
skills, engagement with children, reflection…
• Multiplier: they extend my ability to teach well.
26. A Sample of Benefits
• “This has been the best thing to happen to me at
work. I feel renewed. I’ve already learned so much
that will help me on my job.”
• An opportunity to interact in a manner and depth
not possible during their daily lives at home. One
mentor indicated how beneficial it was to gain an
accurate understanding of another mentor’s role in
another county in NYS…
27. • Exposure to a diverse set of learning styles and
traditions of communication. This knowledge
contributed to an ability to better serve diverse
populations, specifically audiences from diverse
cultural backgrounds.
• “Principles of community-based work are the
same, no matter where you go. Stakeholder
involvement, transience, and teachers that have no
time, getting parents involved, summer
maintenance…the challenges are the same. So it was
an opportunity to both share and learn from the
Belizeans.”
28. The Role of Technology…
• …is limitless!
• Distance learning via Moodle – engagement of our
educators with those in other locations.
• Opportunity to interact with educators in developing
nations.
• Sharing of resources and knowledge leads to cross-
cultural understanding.
