The Kaleidoscope Project

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

The Kaleidoscope project envisions a more pluralistic and inclusive campus community and invites students to engage in learning, conversation and action with others who may have a different background or viewpoint. Through conversation and action, we can begin to build a more engaged and diverse community on our campus and in Calgary – a community that works together, regardless of religious tradition, spirituality, culture, identity, sexual orientation, gender, and personal or political views. This year, students participated in a co-curricular program experiencing religious diversity where they:
• Visited over 10 sacred spaces and cultural restaurants in Calgary
• Learned about pluralism, inter-religious dialogue, and religion & the public sphere
• Engaged in critical thinking and developed practical skills to engage across lines of difference
• Completed an assessment measuring your intercultural competencies and create a development plan
• Gained professional development experience by cultivating skills on religious and cultural competence in the workplace
