intercultural learning program
Program description
The Intercultural Learning Program (ILP) is a way to build your intercultural skills at home or abroad. The ILP involves discovering how your own cultural identities shape the way you understand and operate in the world and recognize culture at work in your everyday experiences. Simply immersing yourself in a different culture does not automatically lead to deeper intercultural awareness. Growing your intercultural understanding depends on a blend of personal motivation and guided learning.
There are many benefits to enhancing your intercultural sensitivity, but here are just a few:
- Explore and reflect on how your cultural identities influence your understanding, expectations, and behaviours;
- Enhance your intercultural awareness, knowledge, and skills transferable to the social, academic, and professional contexts;
- Develop essential global fluency skills as you prepare for your global careers and work with diverse perspectives;
- Understand the hidden history of Canada and the impact of colonialism on the Indigenous peoples; and
- Develop your intercultural learning goals and strategies to better understand, communicate, and navigate cultural commonalities and differences.
Join the ILP today and embark on a journey of personal growth, cultural understanding, and community building. Students who participate in our program have reflected on the benefits of this learning, including more confidence in their ability to communicate across cultures, step outside of their comfort zones, and make intercultural connections
Program Eligibility
All U of T graduate and undergraduate students are welcome to join the program. Ideally, the program will be a mix of domestic students, international students, and both inbound and outbound exchange students.
how the program works
These interactive sessions will provide you opportunities to engage in discussion and form deep connections with peers who share your enthusiasm for personal growth and professional development. Together, you and your peers will explore a wide range of topics centred around intercultural learning, allowing you to collectively reflect on your experiences.
You will also have the opportunity to join an Intercultural Connection Group made up of 4-5 students per group, where you will meet new people, explore new cultures, and apply the intercultural frameworks through self-organized intercultural outings. Most importantly, have fun with your new peers! The ILP also offers other experiential outings for you to join throughout the academic year.
Your participation in the ILP is eligible for Co-Curricular Record (CCR). To receive CCR recognition and a certificate of completion, participants must complete the following requirements in 2023-2024:
- Attendance of all 5 sessions;
- Participate in at least one experiential outing or self-directed learning module; and
- Complete an Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) assessment and debrief session.
You are also welcome to participate in the sessions depending on your interests and availability.
