D.A.E.
Through hands-on activities and discussions, participants will practice the DAE (Description, Analysis, Evaluation) technique, learning to observe unfamiliar objects and behaviors without assigning immediate value judgments. The workshop emphasizes the importance of frame-shifting when encountering the unfamiliar, fostering self-awareness, and improving cross-cultural understanding. This session is ideal for those seeking to improve their communication skills and cultural competence in diverse settings.
