Aim: This webinar will provide you with expert guidance on understanding and embracing cultural differences in international junior schools, and addressing some of the challenges that teaching in a multicultural environment brings with it.

Why this webinar’s important: As the number of international schools continue to grow in East and South-East Asia, more and more teachers in these schools have to negotiate different learning spaces and cultures, and this challenge is amplified where teachers are required to relocate to a new environment. Teaching in international junior schools can be hugely rewarding for teachers and students alike, however, success hinges on understanding the different manifestations of cultural diversity and managing their impact.
