Seeing i2i - Leader's Guide [DOWNLOAD]

Seeing i2i: Adventures in Diversity and Cultural Awareness is a new 4-H curriculum intended to help youth gain ‘global competence’ and ‘cultural competence’ skills needed in today’s increasingly interconnected world and culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is designed for youth ages 11-14, but can be adapted for younger and older age groups. It can be adapted for use in 4-H clubs, camps, classrooms, afterschool programs, and other youth settings.

Curriculum content centers around five areas, namely:

• Self-reflection and exploring one’s own heritage, culture, and cultural lens
• Gaining cultural knowledge and gaining an appreciation for increased cultural awareness
• Culturally competent attitudes and beliefs
• Culturally relevant skills and behaviors (e.g., empathy, perspective-taking)
• Applying knowledge including advocating for others

The Leader's Guide contains all the information needed to conduct the activities in the Seeing i2i: Adventures in Diversity and Cultural Awareness curriculum, including activity descriptions, school standards, instructions, and other instructor resources.
