Difr Dive +

Bridge the Difference, Make a Difference, and Thrive in a Globalized World

Difr Dive + is a first-of-its-kind, research-backed blend of intentionally facilitated synchronous and asynchronous educational programs, all centered around personal development and Global Intercultural Citizenship and designed to allow you to bridge the difference, make a difference, and thrive in a globalized world, whether at home or abroad!

In small and personal cohorts, you will front-load concepts and skills vital for effective Global Intercultural Citizenship through our dynamic and interactive 4-hour workshop. As you also progress through the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®), the AFS Global Competence Certificate, guided mental health activities, and CulturaGo’s culture-specific modules, you will develop cultural awareness and adaptability, will more effectively engage cross-culturally, and will set goals for your ongoing personal development. The program will culminate with a Difr Live Human Story experience, a collaborative cultural dimensions project, and a "What Now?" session. Most importantly, you will implement your growing skills during a 6-week community-based volunteer opportunity, working with a local nonprofit of your choice, finding a placement through our network of partners, or participating in a group virtual internship through Kambia.
