Abstract
This presentation will share lessons learned about intercultural communication over the course of multiple intercultural partnerships for research, post-secondary education, and early childhood intervention in Canada, Greenland, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The presentation suggests that we start where life begins – with relationships. The presentation describes the generative potential of entering into working relationships empty-handed and open-eared rather than with a recitation of credentials or promoting a pre-determined agenda. Yet the presentation also encourages participants in intercultural partnerships to bring their authentic selves - including their pre-committed values, beliefs, needs and goals - which can be made explicit while remaining flexible about how to proceed and open to new learning. Working in an ethical space between or among cultural and community-based ways of knowing, doing and being can generate new knowledge and forge new pathways for all partners. Behaviours promoting cultural safety will be described with reference to five principles to guide practice.
