After completing and discussing this worksheet, learners will 1. apply the metaphor of a pendulum to their own experiences for a more robust and realistic understanding of their own intercultural competence, 2. reflect on the outside forces/events/environmental factors that impede their development of intercultural competence by pulling them towards a focus on similarity and difference (magnets), and 3. identify strategies and behaviors they can employ to stay balanced and maintain their intercultural competence (anchors).
