- Demonstrate knowledge of a range of theories needed to successfully live together in a culturally diverse world

Assessment 1 – Blogs
Part of your intercultural learning is to gain experience and confidence in reflective practices. Writing in a blog about your intercultural learning for an audience of peers supports the development of critical reflection and communication skills. Sharing your ideas in a blog also promotes dialogue within the class. Peers and facilitators will provide feedback which will influence and encourage your further intercultural development.

- Why is the cultivation of “openness to other worldviews” important for everyone living on planet Earth today?

Blog Post: Part B – due end Module 2
Create a blog post (250 words) that draws on the subject’s resources (please indicate which ones using APA referencing). The following questions can guide you to start thinking about what you could include in your blog post.
- Given that intercultural learning is an ongoing and lifelong process, discuss which areas of intercultural competence you do well, and where you could improve. Remember that many people over-estimate their intercultural competence. Also note that your intercultural competence is not solely limited to your own evaluation- others may have a different interpretation of your intercultural attitudes, skills, knowledge, and behaviour!
- Meditation is different to most other things we do in life- failure is actually success- we try to keep our attention on our breath, fail, then start again, fail, then start again etc. What connections can you find between this skill and the concept of intercultural competence?

Which parts of your identity are associated with dominant groups, and which ones with subordinate groups? What reactions do you have when asked to think about yourself in this way?
- Explore your identity in relation to the 3 Rs from Selasi’s TED talk. Discuss how this analysis of your identity differs from your findings from the one you did in response to Tatum’s (2000) article.
