There are several trends in intercultural communication education in many universities. One model favors experiential learning, while the other focuses on addressing inequities of various kinds.

I was sitting on my friend’s couch with a group of people from church one evening, having a great discussion about what car we would own if we could own any in the world. In the middle of the conversation, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the realization, ‘I am in Ireland. I am friends with Irish people. I am living a normal life and having normal conversations, but in Ireland.’
