🌍 Thank you, Dr Chris Cartwright 🌍 for delivering such an insightful session this week on intercultural assessment as a learning tool! His expertise and knowledge shone through as we explored the complexities of assessing and developing cultural competencies. The session, "How do you know they know? … and equally important – how do they know they know?", challenged us to think deeply about learning outcomes and the models and measures that shape our practice. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of an assessment-to-development process in enhancing our intercultural work. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your wisdom and providing us with actionable insights that will surely impact how we apply these principles moving forward! #Intercultural #LearningOutcomes #GlobalCompetencies #sietar Arnaud Detourbet - le Chatelier, Jillaine Farrar (Schmidhauser), Leanne Hayes, Gundhild A.
