A free card game, developed by CILMAR staff members, in which participants identify statements indicative of various orientations on the Intercultural Development Continuum, as well as reflect on connections between the orientations and their own life experiences.  It works well as part of an IDI group debriefing, to help explain the model before discussing aggregate group results.  May also be used in situations where you wish to help team leaders recognize & uplift effective intercultural behavior without the cost of administering the IDI instrument.

This is the checklist we used to assess and include andragogical, developmental, experiential, transformational, constructivist, and critically inclusive aspects into intercultural learning activities. 

The Ramping Up - New Activity Checklist Version 2 includes the items from our whiteboard brainstorming session during the workshop.

*Both Word docs and PDFs included.

This article introduces Tami Pyfer, Utah Demonstration Project Lead of the Dignity Index, a rhetorical scoring scale for politicians developed to address issues of scapegoating, polarization, and other divisive language in politics.

This article explores culture beyond country borders.

This book by Benedict Anderson discusses nationalism, detailing that humans of different cultural groups have always contested territorial control through war, migrated for multiple reasons, co-existed, and intermingled. 

This activity challenges participants to recognize and analyze their reactions to a variety of cultural values. 

Within our session, we used this tool as an opportunity to practice assessing and developing intercultural learning tools after completing the New Activity Checklist.

Overview: This lesson plan will challenge participants to recognize and analyze their reactions to a variety of cultural values. In this activity, participants will move to various locations around the room based on their opinions about value statements read by the facilitator.

For this activity, participants refer to the Hofstede Insights website and explore the cultural proclivities of their own cultures as well as compare them with others’ cultures, understanding that these are generalizations. Additionally, participants examine the generalizations presented on the website and reflect on the complex nuances that are excluded from these over-simplified categories.
