Multicultural Immersion Program Workshop Brochure 10-11
MISSION STATEMENT The philosophy of the Multicultural Immersion Program (MIP) is based on didactic, experiential, and social justice models of learning, in which students engage in coursework, ongoing dialogue, and campus and community programming. Workshops and training of MIP interns focus on wellness, race relations, intercultural communication, and the appreciation and promotion of cultural pluralism and unity. The MIP Internship was designed to provide an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge on multiculturalism and diversity gained through their personal experiences, various identities, and classes to the campus community. MIP Interns strive to enforce the belief that when individuals are provided a safe and inviting environment to learn new information and engage in dialogues about their reactions and experiences, they become empowered to make positive changes in their lives and that of their communities.
WHO WE ARE MIP Interns are a group of UCD undergraduate students who are specially trained to create these types of learning environments and stimulate critical dialogues for their peers. MIP Interns are peer educators who are trained in presenting free workshops that promote:
Awareness and sensitivity to issues of diversity including (but not limited to) race, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, gender, age, ability status, social class and religion
An understanding of how social and institutional injustices and discrimination such as racism, heterosexism, and sexism, affect students’ wellbeing and mental health
Difficult dialogues that foster the meaningful exploration of individual differences, intersecting identities, and culturally-based strategies for addressing life’s challenges and managing stress.
