Intercultural Competency Capacity Building at Georgetown International Academy

I was delighted to lead intercultural competency capacity building with staffulty, administration, board members, and parents/caregivers at Georgetown International Academy in Georgetown, Guyana last week. As an added bonus, I witnessed the school's ribbon cutting ceremony as the new building was inaugurated.

This is a particularly exciting time to lead intercultural competency efforts in Guyana, as the country's international population has continuously increased since oil was discovered in 2015. The ability to communicate and respect individuals from different cultural backgrounds and viewpoints will be critical as demographics continue to shift.

I look forward to return later this year to work with students! Many thanks to Shauna Hobbs-Beckley, EdS, head of school, for her partnership in these important efforts.
