The University of Missouri , like many other US universities, is now reviewing its general education requirements. In that context, I've heard faculty - and business leaders - emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural understanding and communication.
But what do these terms mean? How can we define them in terms of student competencies or learning outcomes?
These are important questions. One of several projects that's focused on them is called Global People at the University of Warwick.
If you're interested, check out their publications and tools, including The Global People Competency Framework: Competencies for Effective Intercultural Interaction.
