 MIC's Intercultural Program creates opportunities for MIC members and international visitors, students, and scholars to exchange perspectives about cultures and timely topics in today's world. These opportunities include dinner visits, homestays, forums and discussions, cultural activities, and an annual special focus.
MIC invites members to host 1 -3 international guests for a dinner visit to promote cultural exchange during an in-home meal and conversation. Guests may be international students and scholars or visiting international professionals. Student dinner visits in member homes are arranged on the 4th Saturday or Sunday of most months during the academic year, beginning in October. Occasionally, MIC arranges for international students and scholars to visit communities in Greater (rural) Minnesota, and to stay in a local home. This is an opportunity for sharing cultural perspectives during a weekend. The Role of Religion in World Affairs Religion plays a significant role in world affairs and global events. Recognizing this role is essential to understanding today's world. Beginning in October, MIC offers a series of events and activities to explore the impact of religion on our world. This series will include visits to places of worship and hearing from leaders of various religious communities. As a nonpartisan organization, MIC is in a unique position to facilitate this learning experience and exchange of perspectives.
