ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the Journeys course, which was piloted in 2014–15 and launched in 2015–16. It offers transferable lessons learned relevant to launching innovative, comprehensive intercultural competence development initiatives on other campuses. As active participants in the Journeys course, students work towards the following intercultural competence-related learning outcomes, which are under the overarching Summit outcome of the capacity to 'Demonstrate knowledge and skills essential for global engagement'. After completing a one-credit introductory course on global learning, all first-year students at Agnes Scott College enrol for the spring semester in a section of the common course: Journeys. Across all sections of the course, students focus on four key common global themes: identity: self, culture, and Other; ethics of travel; globalisations; and colonialism and imperialism. Overall, the Journeys course will continue to provide an academic and experiential foundation in global learning and intercultural competence for all Agnes Scott students to build from over the course of their college years.
