The document outlines the agenda for a class on non-verbal communication. It discusses proxemics, the study of personal space and cultural norms around spatial distance. It assigns students to read stories about personal space in different cultures and conduct an experiment invading someone's personal space, noting their reactions. In groups, students will discuss the stories and concepts of personal space before presenting their project findings.
