Campus Internationalisation Toolkit
Based on the Crossing Borders Films Trilogy
This intercultural package helps domestic and international students to leave their comfort zones, learn cross-cultural skills and interact with each other. By using film clips that tell compelling intercultural stories, students will develop more emotional buy-in to abstract concepts such as stereotypes, non-verbal communication and cross-cultural dialogue.
The five intercultural sessions form a suggested intercultural curriculum, and are designed to be easily adapted for diverse subject areas and specific classroom requirements.
In addition to the five sessions, we recommend initiating Screening Discussion Events built around our intercultural trilogy of feature films.
