DukeEngage Culture Lunches
DukeEngage Culture Lunches are designed to help participants examine their cultural awareness and potential intercultural interactions while at their sites. In addition to a light lunch, participants will have an opportunity to build their cultural knowledge of the highlighted country/ies, engage in informal discussion with students and scholars from their DukeEngage site placement as well as hear from DukeEngage alumni.
This program will provide general background information, address current issues, and discuss cultural norms and values. Panelists will also share their suggested list of readings and films.
Culture Lunches will run again in spring 2010. Check back for details in December 2009. For questions, please contact Cloe Liparini.
If you are interested in connecting with international students/scholars that are from the country in which you will serve and the scheduled Culture Lunches don't address your needs, you may contact International House directly at ihouse@duke.edu to learn how to make these connections.
