| Abstract: | This paper provides a critical reflection on a Global Classroom project in psychiatric mental health nursing. It describes the implementation of the project including opportunities for learning and challenges experienced during the project. The project was an intercultural collaborative classroom activity that focused on substance-related and addictive disorders (SAD) with the overarching goal of reducing stigma related to SAD. The project started in August through December 2022 when students were asked to select addictive substances explored throughout the semester; develop a project plan; and prepare SAD health teaching for 20 attendees at their end-of-semester virtual presentation. At the end of the activity, we observed that students from both universities had little or no experience with people different from themselves and that most participating students would have benefited from cultural humility and intercultural communication training to help them navigate issues encountered as the project progressed. Insight gained might help faculty as they plan future projects. |
