Building Communities

Building Communities programs and services provide opportunities for meaningful interaction between diverse groups of refugees, immigrants and established residents.  These interactions promote cultural sharing and increased understanding.  As a result, refugees and immigrants gain important connections and the entire community becomes more welcoming and inclusive.

Current Building Communities Offerings Include:

Training & Consulting

We offer training and consulting services on a variety of topics related to culture, diversity, equity and inclusion.  These services provide an opportunity to grow professionally and personally through education, discussion and dialogue. 

Our offerings:

Intercultural Development Inventory® 

Picture
Beginning in 2021, Project FINE is able to administer the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®).  The IDI® assesses intercultural competence—the capability to shift cultural perspective and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities. 

The Intercultural Development Inventory is a 50-item questionnaire available online that can be completed in 15–20 minutes.  It is a wonderful tool for businesses, organizations and groups to assess their intercultural competence and gain practical tips to advance their awareness. 

​For more information, contact Project FINE or visit the IDI® website at idiinventory.com

Cultural Arts & Ancestry

Picture
The goal of this project is to empower refugees and immigrants to share their artistic skills and heritage with the community.  Activities include a series of 10 arts workshops held in St. Charles beginning in Spring 2025.  

This activity is made ​possible through by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultral heritage fund; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Welcoming Table

Picture
Welcoming Table provides opportunities for the community to come together to share a meal and build cross-cultural relationships.  Beginning in March 2018, Welcoming Table gatherings will be held each month (see Calendar of Events for details).  These gatherings will provide food for our bodies and food for thought, as we share a meal and get to know our neighbors.  Each month will have a short presentation and conversation starters to spark table conversation.
