Centre for Excellence in Intercultural Education (CEIE)presents A Model for Action to Inclusively Engage Diverse Students
Goals of Presentation • Introduce our Model for Action: part 1 • Demonstrate how our Centre (CEIE) applied the model: part 2 • Provide you with an opportunity to apply the model to identify an inclusion strategy for your organization: part 3
Part one: How are we approaching inclusion in our model for action? A mash-up of 2 concepts Intercultural Competence AQAL Framework
Intercultural Competence First concept looks at intercultural theories: Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (Bennett, M.) Process Model of Intercultural Competence (Deardorff, D.)
Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) Bennett, M
Process Model of Intercultural Competence Deardorff, D.
We are weaving the two theories to look at intercultural competence as: • A mindset to engage in interactions in ways that are mutually perceived as inclusive. • This mindset is based onan ethno-relative perspective of inclusion. • The mindset and perspective enables the outcome of effective and appropriate communication and behaviour.
Second concept uses an integral framework: AQAL Framework
Inclusion = Diversity + Engagement AQAL Framework Intercultural Competence

Student Perspectives of Inclusion Collected at Inclusion Fusion events that engaged participants to use their voices through arts based events and conversations.
PhotoVoice Project Students photograph and share stories of inclusion or exclusion in the college. They engage with others to help them understand what makes a student feel included. Intercultural competence includes engaging with our differences and occupying our perspective with open curiosity.
Looking at Boussena
Looking as This is a picture of a place in my college and a woman going into it. It is a place for many people to pray in. I feel comfort when I look at this photo. This place makes me feel very comfortable and quiet because I can pray my prayer on time and no one can distract me with any noise. I feel special because there is a place that I can practice my religion in. The mood in this photo is inclusion. Boussena
Looking at Asila
Looking as This is a picture of two women. They sit separate from each other on the main floor. I think the picture seems unfriendly. They are unfriendly because they don’t talk to each other. I feel sorry when I look at this photo, because they were sad and they think too much. I also feel sorry because they don’t want to know each other. They seem very unfriendly and they don’t want to meet new people. The mood of the photo is exclusion. Asila
