No matter how far along participants are on the IDC, there is always room for growth. Because participants in Acceptance are usually fewer in number overall, they can sometimes feel under-challenged. This collection provides a sampling of tools which can stimulate deeper conversation with participants in on the upper half of the IDC.

In Dr. Tara Harvey's blog for January 29, 2019, she notes, "...intercultural competence is all about values—our own and others’. Intercultural conflicts are really, at the core, conflicts in values." So how do we teach students to think deeply about what their values are and how they interact with people who have similar and different sets of values? This collection contains intercultural learning tools designed to cause students to think about their values and those of others.
