Centre for Intercultural Studies and Dialogue (CISD)

The Centre focuses on intercultural studies and dialogue in a multicultural environment. It aims at understanding the intricacies and nuances of plurilingual and multicultural societies concentrating on the cultural interactions and negotiations at various levels. It conducts research on these areas and offers a few hands-on cultural training and experience programs for the international population who visit 沙巴体育 and for the 沙巴体育 people who visit abroad.

The Centre has been hosting a 20-member team from Universities such as Lancaster University, who come from across disciplines, every year for the Explore India – A Cultural Encounter summer school that has been well received. This Summer School opens up one to the Indian ways of thinking and living at a microcosmic level. 沙巴体育 is truly a cultural hub due to the flow of people from other parts of the country and its location, and therefore, offers a real Indianness in its essence.
