This is a set of ‘hands-on’ reflective resources, designed to support university teaching staff to develop and facilitate intercultural engagement in learning, teaching and assessment. It seeks to provide a set of practical starting points with evaluation and reflection tools for staff and course teams and reflective discussion exercises for staff for use in course teams or with students. It is not designed to be comprehensive, but as a supportive ‘way in’ to facilitating cultural engagemeThis resource is based on the following principles:1.Intercultural engagement is an ongoing process that is never ‘finished’ – there is always more to learn2.Intercultural experience is valuable, but does not automatically ensure effective intercultural engagement 3.There are generic principles of intercultural engagement which can be supported across different disciplines and approaches4.A focus on (reflective) practice can lead to a shift in intercultural understanding and engagement5.People will bring varied levels of prior knowledge and experience to their use of this resourceThe resource is also based around the six themes which emerged as the chief concerns of students and staff at the University of Brighton in a series of interviews and focus groups. These themes are:1.Intercultural dialogue2.Global citizenship3.Positioning the academic4.Design of curriculum and assessment5.International collaboration and exchange6.Communications<br/
