Navigating Difference
infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities
MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.
Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.
Navigating Difference is an intercultural competency program for people who want to deepen their knowledge, skills and appreciation for connecting across diverse groups of all kinds.
Program goals:
- Gain a deeper understanding into your own degree of intercultural competence, and identify strategies for growth
- Explore how our cultural identities affect the systems in which we work and interact – work, school, community, etc.
- Increase our ability to work effectively and respectfully across differences of all types
Navigating Difference is a highly interactive program taught in a welcoming environment for all learners, with activities that respect and support individual learning styles and perspectives. The program is not about specific cultural groups, trying to change values or beliefs, or attempting to instill blame or guilt.
The full Navigating Difference program is 18 hours, formats and schedule will vary. The first module, Cultural Awareness, is available as a stand-alone program.
