Culture Box Activity

Culture Box is one of the first opportunities students experience towards building connection with their classmates via the pod group. Focusing on the major or high-level influences in one's life story, Culture Box is an opportunity to reflect and discuss how our experiences are similar and different. Goals of this exercise include increasing self-awareness and intercultural capacity, perspective taking, and better understanding the forces that shape our individual motivations.
