  10. What the Literature Says (both practice and research) Worldmindedness often begins as global awareness and grows as individuals begin to appreciate the viewpoints, experiences and worldviews of others, especially those quite different from themselves (Merryfield, 2001; Noddings, 2005). It develops along with intercultural skills in communication and prolonged experiences in cross-cultural interaction (Bennett, 1993: Brislin & Yoshida, 1994: Wilson, 1993). Merryfield, Merry M.
