Communicating Beyond Words: Cultural Body Language

Date
December 2, 2025 | 6:00 - 7:00 pm
Location

Enarson Classroom Building
Description

Your body language speaks louder than words as it conveys a stronger message that transcends your verbal language. Come and join us in an engaging exploration of how nonverbal language varies across cultures, and how these cross-cultural differences (and surprising similarities) can lead to confusion, connections, and even laughter. Through interactive presentation and fun games, you will decipher global nonverbal language and gestures, contemplate your own non-verbal language, and learn how to build greater cross-cultural communicative awareness. This event is part of the Global Engagement Night series.
