Community and Culture
To facilitate interdisciplinary teaching and learning, we need to establish structures and activities that promote a culture of interdisciplinary competence.
The interdisciplinary ladder is a step-by-step process where you learn to take responsibility and different roles in interdisciplinary projects. On the first step, you practice participating in an interdisciplinary team; on the next, you learn to facilitate interdisciplinary initiatives; and on the final step, you are encouraged to design and lead interdisciplinary initiatives.
Find your place on the interdisciplinary ladder!
