Part 1The intersection of environmental sciences and culture is a core element of environmental sustainability. Understanding the geographical context of a particular society also provides insights into that society's position on international borders and cross border issues such as large-scale environmental issues. Engaging students in viewing science through a societal and multicultural lens is a critical part of workforce development and more specifically, important in creating student leaders in global environmental science. This workshop will help address needed approaches for communication upskilling and generate opportunities for students to work in multicultural and multi-institutional teams with an eye towards broadening their views on the application of environmental science to local communities and cultures. Presenting research in an international context also provides students with cross-cultural experiences as they move into professional careers.Part 2Communicating science to decision makers is a critical part of preparing graduate students and early career researchers. This proposal outlines a unique learning experience for students, and particularly students interested in multicultural perspectives on global environmental issues with a background in environmental science and are interested in the intersection of environmental science and decision-making. While there is strong interest in experiential and multidisciplinary learning, it is more difficult to institute in practice for environmental research in international negotiations due to lack of suitable opportunities, especially for students from smaller institutions or without the economic means to travel to international settings. The proposed workshop focuses on: (1) building a sense of community for diverse students and others in advance of international professional experiences; (2) providing a platform for students to actively participate through their presentations to a global audience on environmental issues; (3) generating student-led posters and presentations at professional societies such as American Geological Union (AGU) and Ecological Society of America (ESA) as part of the student professional development; and (4) providing a social cohort and shared experience for diversity and first-generation students to experience international professional meetings. Importantly, workshop will address a common issue among institutions that students attending international science meetings are ill-prepared to grasp the complexity of fast-paced negotiations. Students will benefit greatly from advanced guidance and shared experiences through multi-institutional teams.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第一部分环境科学与文化的交叉是环境可持续发展的核心要素。了解一个特定社会的地理背景也有助于了解该社会对国际边界和跨边界问题（如大规模环境问题）的立场。让学生通过社会和多元文化的透镜来看待科学是劳动力发展的关键部分，更具体地说，在全球环境科学中培养学生领袖非常重要。该研讨会将有助于解决沟通技能提升所需的方法，并为学生创造机会，在多文化和多机构团队中工作，着眼于扩大他们对环境科学应用于当地社区和文化的看法。在国际背景下展示研究成果也为学生提供了跨文化的经验，因为他们进入职业生涯。第2部分向决策者传播科学是培养研究生和早期职业研究人员的关键部分。该提案概述了学生的独特学习经验，特别是对具有环境科学背景的全球环境问题的多元文化观点感兴趣的学生，并对环境科学和决策的交叉感兴趣。虽然人们对体验式和多学科学习有浓厚的兴趣，但由于缺乏适当的机会，特别是对于来自较小机构或没有经济手段前往国际环境的学生来说，在国际谈判中进行环境研究的实践更为困难。拟议讲习班的重点是：（1）在国际专业经验之前，为不同的学生和其他人建立一种社区意识;（2）为学生提供一个平台，通过向全球听众介绍环境问题，积极参与;（3）在美国地质联合会（AGU）和美国生态学会（Ecological Society of America）等专业协会制作学生主导的海报和演示文稿（ESA）作为学生专业发展的一部分;以及（4）为多元化和第一代学生提供社会群体和共享经验，以体验国际专业会议。重要的是，研讨会将解决机构之间的一个共同问题，即参加国际科学会议的学生没有准备好掌握快节奏谈判的复杂性。学生将从先进的指导和通过多机构团队分享经验中受益匪浅。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
