• Intercultural Understanding is the ability to meaningfully engage with people outside of one’s culture. It requires that we engage in learning about our own culture ( Understanding our culture) and the culture of others in order that we do not use our own world view and lens with which to perceive them, their thinking, and their actions. Cultural self-awareness must precede intercultural learning, because if we do not understand our own culture we will have difficulty recognizing and integrating cultural differences.
