Intercultural openness is one of the requisite attitudes individuals must develop in order to engage in effective and appropriate communication across various cultural contexts and situations (Deardorff, 2006, 2009).
In this opening session of the 2024-25 AAC&U-CILMAR Global Learning Webinar Series, presenters discussed intercultural openness as defined by the AAC&U VALUE rubric for Intercultural Knowledge and Competence as well as explored experiential activities and different ways to assess an individual's development of this construct.
As a result of viewing the recording, you will be able to
- describe intercultural openness and its relevance in their particular teaching or training context;
- identify a specific experiential learning activity they can use or adapt in order facilitate their learners' developing intercultural openness; and
- select an appropriate method or tool for assessing intercultural openness in a way that aligns with their outcomes for learners.
