Cross Cultural Communication In International Voluntary Activities

Under the background of the global information integration, the globalization trend of the volunteers across the national boundaries and cross cultural services is becoming more and more obvious. With the development of international voluntary service, it plays a more and more important role in promoting exchanges and cooperation between countries, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and maintaining the stability and harmony of the world. At the same time is also a national "soft power" and an important manifestation of the international appeal. With the rapid development of Chinese citizen volunteer service consciousness, this research using field investigation method, mainly through participant observation and depth interviews, explore IHF Bali Center of cross culture communication practice, reveal the social implications of international volunteer activities.The study found that:with the gradual expansion of cross-cultural communication space, the international volunteers cross cultural communication preferences and the corresponding pattern of the corresponding changes. However, the power of cultural capital splited volunteers of different countries, as well as international volunteers and local communities in different social classes at the same time.1) In the group of international volunteers, multicultural landscape of interpersonal communication, the Chinese and Western volunteers according to the national order and cultural groups in the region, in the complex cultural confrontation and conflict has gradually become power domination and resistance in the Chinese and Western confrontation structure, international volunteers group formed a wrestling games, lead to "more global and more differentiation" of multiple cultures.2) In cross cultural interaction between international volunteers and local students, the behavior motivation of teachers and students to participate in the IHF international voluntary organization is not the same. Students have "the bundling system economic value, modernity and heterogeneous cultural visits, and Balinese community formed association" some different driving force; international volunteers is the behavior motives is "volunteer spirit of civil society construction, Bali urban landscape traveler experience, personal by multiple conversion of capital verification using". Different behaviors and priorities, which directly lead to different behavior of teachers and students in the classroom. In English as the capital elements of the classroom in the field, international volunteers had to go through the behavior selection and behavior adjustment like "bilingual exchange equation, integratd Bali culture in the classroom, happy classroom build, sticker reward mechanism". To ensure that the effect of the spread of language and culture, and finally to the identity formation and internalization of the student audience. At the same time, the international volunteers in the class of the dominant position, and the status of the power flow to the outside, it shows the unequal cultural capital and social class differences between teachers and students.3) Cultural activities of the volunteers in the context of Bali, trained by the rite of passage of IHF, the initial formation of the consciousness of culture, the local culture shows respect at the same time, by the local community actively "into". International volunteers and local community members through the economic value of the cultural capital of both sides, with a double identity as a "personal" and "organizational unit". They established emotional connection with native community of Bali, and achieved mutual benefit. It shows the pattern of difference sequence of "emotion+benifit".
