This interactive workshop explores how collaborative art processes can foster intercultural community building in higher education settings. Participants will engage with key concepts of intercultural competence and the social-emotional skills often hidden in international arts education. Art can serve as an exercise in cultural humility, perspective-taking, and empathy while navigating diverse realities. Through activities like co-creating community agreements and examining identity, power, and cultural norms, participants will gain actionable tools for fostering inclusive multicultural communities through art.
