As you continue to plan and work on your films, think of the cross-cultural learning goals of the GO program and the concepts we discussed in class: verandas, intercultural competence, ethnocentrism, etc. Your films don’t have to show this literally—you don’t have to change one second of your film—but they should reflect that you’re thinking of these things as you engage with the city and its people. This is why we’re asking you to organize your film so much while here, out in the city and experiencing its spaces. 

GO learning goals

Through completion of a GO experience, you will demonstrate a complex understanding of culture that enables you to:

• Recognize and reflect on your own culture, ethnocentric assumptions and differences/similarities between cultures.
• Recognize and articulate ways that your own identity and actions may be understood differently in various cultural settings.
• Describe how your cross-cultural experiences help you understand issues in different cultural contexts.
• Articulate how your own intercultural growth can enrich your personal development, academic development and career readiness.
