Summary

Engaging in global empathy and cultural humility are necessary skills for cultivating openness and understanding of diverse cultures. Students will need these skills in order to successfully engage in a global marketplace beyond the classroom. The focus of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the skills necessary for developing cross cultural relationships and understanding relative to global citizenship education. Participants will be introduced to cultural humility in education as well as evidence-based skills for cultivating empathy. The session allows participants to reflect and build on each skillset. Students will leave the session with a better understanding of cross cultural skills and how they apply to work as an educator.

 

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: 1) describe the core principles and theoretical framework of cultural humility and empathy as related to the work of psychology educators and 2) apply principles of empathy and cultural humility to their work as psychology educators.
