Intercultural Encounters
Students learn concepts relating to global citizenship, diversity and inclusiveness that fosters cultural
awareness, critical thinking, and empathy. To achieve this, disciplinary and cultural boundary
crossing, knowledge sharing and co-production, as well as intercultural understanding and
collaboration occurs between students. Organized into teams, students partake in a service-learning
action by connecting and working directly with voluntary groups, engaging with local stakeholders and
experts from Galway. The experiential approach encourages students to reflect on and share their
experiences to enable greater understanding.
To earn this badge the student must:
• As part of ongoing and final assessments reflect on their activities as a team and in conjunction
with partners.
• Work together to create a final presentation and participate in an action that directly benefits the
community.
• Commit to at least 4 meetings (including online, over the phone, and in person) with a community
partner and at least 5 meetings (including online, over the phone, and in person) with their teams.
