About Us

  • Project Overview

    GloballyCompetent.org is a project that encourages cross-cultural exposure and success by providing skills development in the USA and SE Asia.

  • Team Based Learning

    Leveraging frameworks that encourage experiential team learning, the modules, materials and assignment suggestions utilized are meant to foster learning, understanding and change.

  • For Students & Staff

    The project is geared toward next-generation leaders, including university staff and students, to encourage competencies related to succeeding in multi-cultural environments.

Team Based Learning

Based on the concept of group learning through "Friendship Corners", our approach uses a collaborative, small-group style meeting, learning and development platform. This team-based learning method is intentionally designed to feel like a group of friends meeting instead of a classroom.

How it Works

Using either a semester style schedule or intensive camp/retreat format. staff or students from participating institutions or organizations join a cohort to discuss a topic with the guidance of a facilitator.

A session is typically about 90 minutes long. The session is moderated in English. The main topic is introduced in English and participants further discuss in a "round table" format or join a break out session for further discussion. Typically a a snack is provided (like fresh brownies or chocolate chip cookies!), and a conclusion is provided at the end of the session. Online sessions are held by zoom, allowing participants to join across time-zones and geographical boundries.

Skill Development Focus Areas

Here are a few areas that participants can expect to be challenged for growth:

Personal

The program helps to develop personal skills related to such areas as communication, creative and critical thinking, time management, and stress.

Organizational

Cross-cultural team development includes learning how to use negotiation skills, manage teams, and provide leadership.

Cross-Cultural

Using the Lewis model of culture, our program provides insight into how to identify three primary culture zones and to better understand and collaborate cross-culturally.

Global

Learning how to judiciously navigate sustainability in a changing global environment, this program challenges the next-generation to make a lasting impact for current and future generations.
