As learners grow in their understanding of cultural diversity, they move from being able to describe the experiences of others historically or in contemporary contexts primarily through one cultural perspective to being able to adapt and apply a deep understanding of multiple worldviews, experiences, and power structures while initiating meaningful interactions with other cultures to address significant global problems.

In this second webinar of the series, we explore Cultural Diversity as defined by the AAC&U Global Learning VALUE Rubric—the curiosity to learn respectfully about the cultural diversity of other people and on an individual level to traverse cultural boundaries to bridge differences and collaboratively reach common goals.

Participants will be engaging in a variety of hands-on activities including a case study, visual thinking prompt, and exposure to a cultural mapping tool.
