The Center for Intercultural Dialogue announces its second annual video
competition
<https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/2019/02/25/cid-video-competition-how-do-social-media-influence-intercultural-dialogue/>,
open to students enrolled in any college or university during spring 2019.
As an organization devoted to intercultural dialogue, we view this as a
good way to involve students in an international conversation by showcasing
their work to an international audience.



What is intercultural dialogue (ICD)? It is “the art and science of
understanding the Other.”
<https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/2017/07/14/cid-poster-3-intercultural-dialogue/>
ICD
can include international, interracial, interethnic, and interfaith
interactions, but it is always active (“a matter of what someone does”)
rather than passive (“a matter of what someone knows”).
<https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/2017/08/18/cid-poster-8-intercultural-competenceintercultural-dialogue/>
Typically,
people assume that ICD requires face-to-face interaction. This competition
asks: *“How do social media influence intercultural dialogue?”* Entries
must be between *30 seconds to 2 minutes* in length and will be accepted *May
1-31, 2019* at the URL to be posted to the CID website by May 1. Longer
videos will be disqualified.



You are invited to discuss intercultural dialogue in a class, perhaps
showing winning entries from 2018
<https://www.youtube.com/user/IntercultDialogue>, and to suggest students
produce videos as their responses. Please encourage students to be
creative, show off their knowledge and skills, and have fun with this topic.



The top award winner will receive a $200 prize. All award-winning entries
will be posted to the CID YouTube channel
<https://www.youtube.com/user/IntercultDialogue>, and highlighted on the CID
website <https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/>, LinkedIn group
<https://www.linkedin.com/groups/6533775/>, Facebook group
<https://www.facebook.com/Center.for.Intercultural.Dialogue.DC/>, and Twitter
feed <https://twitter.com/IntercultDialog>, through posts describing the
creators and highlighting each of their videos. Perhaps most important to
student learning, all entries will be sent comments from the judges.
Winning entries last year came from not only the USA, but also Italy, the
UK, and Peru.



Please share this opportunity with your students, via email or through
social media (especially appropriate given the topic this year). *Suggested
social media copy*: How do social media influence intercultural dialogue?
Enter the Center for Intercultural Dialogue’s video competition and join
the conversation. https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org
