Co-Creating Globally Inclusive Classrooms

File pdf 103KB

Experiential activity for creation of inclusion in higher education, globally diverse classrooms. Even when a university has a diverse student body, it often fails at the important goal that diversity ideally serves: meaningful interactions between people from different backgrounds and different ways of looking at the world. In the proposed activity, our goal is to share and elicit from participants ways to make their classrooms more inclusive, where ingrained assumptions are challenged, entrenched thinking disrupted, and frames of reference broadened. Inclusion is about creating an optimal learning environment for all students: religious and non-religious, privileged and underprivileged.
