About this Learning Community

The ability to bridge across differences starts with doing our own work. In support of Campus Compact’s bridging efforts, we are piloting a curriculum to work with community engagement professionals and practitioners as they explore their own intercultural competence.

We are seeking 20 participants to engage in this journey as a cohort. You will take the Intercultural Development Inventory, complete the curriculum, and provide feedback to inform the finished product. Throughout this Learning Community, participants will:

  • Increase their understanding of their own intercultural development
  • Develop awareness of themselves in relation to others in their work as community engagement practitioners
  • Build their abilities to bridge across difference
  • Uncover ways to identify systems of support
