Global+Competence

**Global Competence**
is defined on globalcompetence.org by Dr. Bill Hunter of Lehigh University as **"Having an open mind while actively seeking to understand cultural norms and expectations of others, leveraging this gained knowledge to interact, communicate and work effectively outside one's environment."** As our world becomes smaller and we grow closer to each other everyday, the importance of understanding and having an appreciation for our neighbors is becoming the greatest skill we can offer our students. More than simple tolerance, it is critical that we educate and connect our students using powerful practices so that they can obtain the ability to initiate, adapt, and respect each other. Please use this wiki as a tool to help find technologies and resources to accomplish these goals.
