The goal of the Intercultural Event: Cultivating Global Citizenship, is to contribute to the glocal (global/local) standpoints in social work, utilizing the approach: cultivating global citizenship. Presentations and discussion will provide an overview of the significance of a diversifying intercultural experience on our College campus. The priority is to challenge students, staff, and faculty to gain global competence, to expand awareness and proficiency, build a value system that focuses on justice and human rights, which is critical in an increasingly interconnected world, and promote understanding of cultural diversity. Topics related to advocacy efforts, heightened empathy, stronger relationships, and experiential learning will be featured, and we will seek to reexamine and/or a realign our values and priorities for a greater sense of purpose.
