Cultural humility has no end point. You won’t ever get a certificate that says you have done it or be able to cross it off a to-do list. Rather than something to achieve, cultural humility is a way of existing in the world. So, while this course has an end, your work does not.
A personal pursuit to diversify your relationships and surroundings, and remain open to and curious about others, may seem daunting or even uncomfortable at first. But it also broadens your understanding and exposes you to new experiences and perspectives that will only enrich your life and work.
This week, you commit to cultural humility and consider how you will continue your growth after the course.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
• Explain shifts in perspective and/or thinking based on the course and course resources
• Prepare plans for continued development of cultural humility
• Explain methods for addressing internal and external barriers to continued growth in cultural humility
