Competence Frameworks
How does a competence framework enable you to recognise learning experiences, adapt facilitation strategies, and prompt further action?
In this task, you will explore how cultural competence can be understood not as a fixed skill, but as an ongoing, relational process shaped by context, power, and experience. How do frameworks influence the way we think about learning, assessment, and development? You will reflect on the role of competence frameworks in shaping cultural practice, and consider their limits when applied to complex, lived experiences of culture.
You will engage with CultureComp as an alternative approach—one that focuses on identifying, reflecting on, and supporting intercultural and transcultural moments as they emerge. Rather than measuring performance, how might reflection help deepen understanding? What does it mean to notice competence across individuals, groups, and systems?
As you work through this task, you will consider how competence can support cultural democracy. How might shared language help create more inclusive, dialogic, and responsive environments where culture is not controlled, but co-created and continually reimagined?
