Intercultural understanding

Students extend and apply their intercultural understanding capability by, for example:

• engaging with issues of cultural diversity and developing an understanding of how this influences decisions within a range of political systems
• developing an understanding of the cultural factors that shape their own perceptions and values — and those of others — through comparative case studies
• developing their ideas and values through cultural and community engagement, and developing an understanding of how their actions impact others and the future
• exploring the political systems of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• cultivating empathy as global citizens in order to improve the quality of their lives and the lives of others, while discovering commonalities and developing the courage to transform their beliefs.
