Description
跨文化適應是一個既令人興奮,同時也充滿挑戰的經歷。借著這個課程,我想和大家分享跨文化適應的6大階段、每個階段的特點、如何調整期待、有哪些技巧經驗可幫助大家相對平順地度過這一階段等。
每個人的經歷都非常獨特、沒有兩個人的經歷完全相同。希望你能在這個課程中抓住對當下的你直接相關的部分,放慢腳步細細咀嚼,在遇到尚且與你當下的處境較遙遠的階段時,也給一些時間和耐心,先在理論和概念上有所認識,這樣,你可以在進入那一陌生階段的時候,能快速想起,「哦,原來是這樣」,也能在他人有需要的時候,可以更多地與對方共情、彼此理解和支持。
離開舒適區是難的,但也是一個獨特而難得的成長機會。希望這一短篇課程能讓你在經歷跨文化適應的時候,多一份概念上、理論上的理解,讓你在面對這一漫長而反復的過程的時候,多一些享受和盼望。
Who this course is for:
- 曾經、正在或即將經歷跨文化場景的學生、職場人士、移民、訪問藝術家、訪問藝術家、驢友等

I'm Jing Sproule from mainland China.
My profile picture was taken in 2015 when I stayed in Nepal for a month.
My hometown is roughly of the same size and population as Shanghai - in fact, you can lift the whole Shanghai up and travel along the biggest river in China, and put it down roughly in the middle of China; there you'll have my hometown, Chongqing.
-----------------------------------------------
My cross-cultural journey can be summarised as mainly 3 stages for 3 different purposes:
1. China to Scandinavia - Study
2. China to the World - Work
3. China to Northern Ireland - Marriage / Settlement
It began when I travelled from my hometown to Sweden for college on 27th August 2009 where I experienced being abroad as an international student for 4 years.
Then I worked in an international charity organisation for 3 years. The work took me to Australia, remote parts of China, Thailand, Nepal, and the Philippines. I became roommates with people from 40+ nations including all continents, which further expanded my first and second hand experience of the world.
Then I met Tim, a handsome Northern Irish lad. We got married in 2020 and I am currently making this place my home.
-----------------------------------------------
Being cross-cultural is an integral part of my identity. It is probably the most challenging part of my life but at the same time, the most rewarding.
I've learnt by making loads of silly and sometimes serious mistakes what it means to be "cross-cultural".
In the series of courses I'm going to provide in Udemy I will share with you all that I've learnt about cross-cultural adjustment process, the secrets that turns it into a beautiful and successful one, so that you can learn from my 12 years of mistakes, experience, reflection and research, and share my joy and passion of being cross-cultural.

For thirteen years I have been helping autistic children and adults to develop their social abilities, build confidence and to learn life skills – primarily through martial arts. I was also a committee member of our local autism charity and am now an ambassador for Fighting for Autism.
Using my experience, I have been teaching autism awareness courses to parents, teachers and professionals for the past three years. I am excited to do the same on Udemy!
