Conference
Beyond Ethnocentrism: Experiencing Cultural Differences through BaFa BaFa, a Simulation Game
Author
- Roger Bertelsen (Iowa State University)
Abstract
What happens when we encounter a new culture or group and have to interact with people whose rules are different from the ones we use and take for granted? What happens when we think we know what's going on in a situation and then find ourselves in trouble for breaking the rules? How do we share and explain our cross-cultural experiences with others who are part of our "in" group? Participants will take part in a cross-cultural simulation and a follow-up debriefing to discuss and clarify the experience.
