On Wednesday, November 19th 2003, Young SIETAR will be hosting its first
official conference in the USA, a Pre-Conference day in cooperation with
SIETAR USA’s Annual Conference 2003 "Seeking Middle Ground – Locally and
Globally," November 19-23, 2003, in Austin, Texas.
As always, well-known personalities from the intercultural field will facilitate
our workshops and learning process. We are happy to welcome Sandy Fowler,
Rita Wuebbeler, Jaime Wurzel, Margaret Pusch, Jacqueline Wasilwewski, and
Henry Bak Zinglersen. We would like to thank SIETAR USA for their
collaboration and assistance.
For more information on our speakers, please see the pre-conference day
program below.
Pre-Conference Schedule
We will start our pre-conference day on Tuesday November 18, 2003 with a
“Get-together” night for those who are able to arrive to Austin a day
before the conference. Our meeting point will be at a local bar at 6:00 pm.
We offer one welcome drink to every registrant! The pre-conference day will
start with a nice breakfast – for those of you who would like to join – at a
local bar (not included in the conference fee). Meeting points and times will
be communicated to registrants with the confirmation of the registration.
We will have coffee breaks together concurrent with the SUSA pre-
conference day so that there will be plenty of possibilities to chat with
participants, trainers and facilitators of SIETAR USA. We will have lunch at a
local restaurant. Lunch is not included in the conference fee.
During the day, several workshops will be offered. Sandra Fowler, Jaime
Wurzel, and Rita Wuebbeler will lead us through the session “Careers in the
Intercultural Field and New Trends.” Jacqueline Wasilewski will give us
insight into “Academia and Research” and we will be able to improve our
“Training and Teaching Skills” with Peggy Pusch. Finally, we will take part in
a simulation game provided by Henry Bak Zinglersen.
For those of you who decide to join the SUSA-conference, there will be a
warm welcome reception in the evening and afterwards we will all go out for
our evening program. More information about the evening program will be
communicated at a later date. The conference fee does not include the
evening program.
