Lesson Plan

Created by Dr. Jennifer Wiley, Core Collaborative International, based on work from Dr. Vesna Hart, James Madison University and Joseph Campbell’s concept of the hero’s journey:

 

Campbell, J. (1949). The hero with a thousand faces. Pantheon Books.

As a result of this reflection, participants will be able to: 1. Reflect on their experiences crossing cultures. 2. Move into an imaginational, narrative space as they consider what it means to become interculturally competent. 3. Identify the skills and tools needed to successfully navigate a different set of norms and behaviors. 4. Develop strategies for a smooth transition after "returning home" to their own cultural norms and values.
