IDS 305 - Practicum in Global Engagement (1 Cr.)
Practicum in Global Engagement is a cross-cultural educational program that enables students from the United States and around the world to connect, collaboratively explore the relationships between their societies, establish a deeper understanding for the perspectives of others around the world on global issues, and develop critical 21st-century skills. Students participating in this program are placed in an online group with approximately ten students from around the world, and each group will meet online once a week for two hours via a customized videoconferencing platform for 8 weeks. During the weekly sessions, students will meet with peers, share their opinions, and hear their groupmates’ perspectives about critical issues that are important to them. Topics covered during the Program typically include, but are not limited to: identity, culture and stereotypes, global and social challenges, intercultural communication, values and social norms, life experiences and worldviews, and youth empowerment. Through participation in the Program, students will develop and improve their skills in leadership, critical analysis, cross-cultural communication, collaborative problem-solving, and constructive engagement with peers across the globe. To complete the course, participants will also attend two speakers’ events related to topics on global issues. This Speaker Series, offered to the Goucher Community, is sponsored by Goucher College and coordinated by the Office of Global Education. Practicum in Global Engagement satisfies the requirement for students who still need to complete their study abroad experience for May 2021 graduation when international travels are not feasible during the pandemic. Offered Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. Variable instructors.
