Join members from INCHE and the Society of Christian Scholars (SCS) to explore,

Media and Information Literacy for Intercultural Dialogue:

A Campus Ministry Approach

On Tuesday, 16 March 2021 at 1400 GMT/UTC, Dr. Marlene Hines, the Society’s librarian and former director and project manager in the Jamaican Ministry of Education, will discuss how campus ministries and academics can bridge the diverse barriers that exist within the university community as a means of reaching people where they are through intercultural dialogue.

This SCS webinar will focus on the university campus, particularly those with a large student and faculty population as a melting pot of cultures, peoples of diverse nationalities, and racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. The pluralistic university is thus a fertile mission field for the gospel of Christ.

The UNESCO Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue (MILID) strategy will be explored as a Campus Ministry approach that has the potential to bridge and break down barriers that exist within the university community by the application of various media and communication strategies in the presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the university community.

Immediately after the webinar, INCHE supports a follow-up small group discussion for participants who seek further reflection on the topic. Dr. Susan Felch, Calvin University Professor of English emeritus, will facilitate this discussion. A Zoom link will be provided during the webinar.
