🔔 Reminder for next Tuesday's online event hosed by SIETAR UK 🔔 Patrick L. Schmidt will be leading a talk on "Deconstructing Unconscious Biases — Neuropsychological Insights into how we construct our reality”. He will talk about how our unconscious biases influence our everyday lives and our intercultural relationships. Based on his new book "Your Unconscious Biases", he will draw your attention to our biases by using great works of art that demonstrate how our memories, experiences and memories, especially those from early childhood, largely dictate our behaviour. This talk is unique in the sense that it helps us see our unconscious biases by emphasizing the artistic visual aspect. 📆 Tuesday, 1 October 18.00 – 19.00 UK time. Patrick served as president of SIETAR Europa (2010 - 2011) as well as editor-in-chief of the SIETAR Europa Journal (2009 - 2021) and has been active in the intercultural field for over 30 years, working as a facilitator, lecturer and author. He now lives in Strasbourg, France. So come and join us on Zoom for the event - there is still time to sign up!
