Meredith Graduate Abroad: Intercultural Consulting with Communities and Organization (I/O Psychology)
Intercultural Consulting with Communities and Organizations is a 10 -day program conducted in the picturesque Tuscany region of Italy. During this intensive elective, you will develop intercultural relationship-building skills and proficiency in community and organizational consulting through interactions with local business owners and community leaders. Our journey will begin in Sansepolcro, Italy, a small medieval walled town located in the heart of Tuscany about halfway between Florence and Rome. You will spend time among the many rustic and ancient buildings of Sansepolcro, truly gaining a sense of what it is like to live in this exquisite country.
While in Sansepolcro and surrounding communities, you will interact with Meredith鈥檚 established network of community partners, learning about industries at the heart of the Italian economy, such as wine and olive oil production, agritourism, textile manufacturing, and hospitality. Through these relationships, you will grow to understand not only the businesses that fuel the Italian economy but come to know the people who make the Tuscan region such an extraordinary place. The program will conclude in Florence, where you will see the integration of various influences into the Italian culture and economy.
As a future I/O professional, this program will provide you with invaluable experience in how to prepare for and conduct in- country site visits, as well as prepare consulting reports which will be shared back with our Italian partners. In other words, you will be participating in real intercultural consulting. Through this scaffolded program, you will gain cultural awareness and applied skills that can only be obtained through travel, application, and immersion.
