Welcome to Episode #24 of the Profiles in Franceformation Podcast. I’m your host Allison Grant Lounes. In this episode I interviewed Francie Plough Seder who was born in the US and has lived half her life in the States and the other half in France. As a result, her development of cross-cultural awareness has been both empirical and professional. Francie has spent all of her career in education-related professions, working with students of all ages. For nearly 20 years, Francie has worked in cross-cultural exchange with a focus on interculturalism. She helped found and direct a study abroad program for American students and created a cultural mentor program for French American university students to learn about each other’s customs and traditions. She has raised three bicultural children which nourished Francie’s belief that the ability to navigate cultures leads to greater wellbeing. Currently, Francie is involved in several professional projects to promote cultural awareness, including creating her company CrossCultural Directions, which proposed workshops to activate skills for better understanding and communication across cultures.
For more information about Crosscultural Directions, you can check the following links to their website, Facebook and Instagram pages:
