This research delves into the imperative task of heightening cultural diversity awareness within an international education environment, with a specific focus on the International Exchange Office at Qujing Normal University. Given the distinct backgrounds of 20 foreign teachers hailing from countries including the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, alongside 17 Ph.D. scholars, the study explores the current state of cultural sensitivity and identifies potential challenges faced by both educators and students. Employing a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, encompassing surveys, interviews, and observational analysis, the research aims to unearth valuable insights from the diverse academic community. The ultimate goal is to contribute nuanced perspectives and practical strategies for fostering a more inclusive and culturally aware atmosphere within the International Exchange Office. By addressing the specific needs and experiences of this diverse cohort, the findings aspire to inform the development of targeted initiatives, ensuring a harmonious, culturally sensitive educational milieu that celebrates diversity and facilitates effective cross-cultural communication and collaboration.
