A developmental approach to build a more inclusive school
Discover how school communities grow in their approach to cultural differences, and gain practical tools to support inclusion at every stage—starting with where your community is today.
About
Participants will be introduced to the Intercultural Development Continuum that helps us understand the different stages people go through when dealing with cultural differences.
Based on the model developed by Milton Bennett, specific strategies and activities will be shared to cater for each stage of the model.
Participants will have the option of taking the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) to self-assess their intercultural sensitivity and receive personal coaching to move forward in their own development.

- Describe the different ways in which people and schools deal with differences
- Identify their personal (and their school) way of dealing with difference
