I became recently certified in the Deep Culture Approach Masterclass by the Japan Intercultural Institute (JII).
The workshop with Joseph Schaules, Director of JII, was held in person as a pre-conference workshop at SIETAR Germany’s FORUM 2025 in Erfurt, Thuringia, last November. The Deep Culture Approach enables intercultural educators to perceive culture through a neuroscientific lens. It was deeply enlightening to gain a better understanding of how my brain works and how deeply culture is embedded within me.
Having become a member of JII, I’m excited to be involved in extensive exchange with intercultural educators on Deep Culture topics in the future.
