Definitions
Dialogue
Dialogue is an encounter where participants learn from one another to better understand each other's values, perspectives, experiences and beliefs. It is aimed at creating a safe, brave and inclusive space. It is reciprocal and acknowledges similarities and differences.
Global Citizenship
A global citizen is open-minded and understands the complexities of an interconnected world. They value diversity of perspectives, beliefs and cultures and take an active role to promote inclusion, equality and sustainability.
Open-mindedness
Open-mindedness is the capacity to be open and unprejudiced when encountering difference and learning about the lives, values and beliefs of others. It is being confident to share, listen with an 'open heart' and make others feel safe.
Culture
Culture is a frame of reference for interpreting the world. It is defined by a way of life, values, beliefs, and language. It is shared by a group of people, can change over time, it is created and learned and can be influenced by a variety of factors.
Identity
Identity is the way in which individuals define a sense of self. It is a collection of components and characteristics that are fluid, complex, and intersectional and are continually influenced by society and culture.
