OVERVIEW
The Cultural Immersion Experience Video Presentation allows the students to consider
multicultural trends found in a particular diverse cultural group of the United States and to begin
comparing/contrasting their own cultural experience with that of this other group. Through the
actual experience of what it is like to be immersed in a different culture, greater insight will
occur into the role of the counselor in developing cultural self-awareness, understanding the role
of community, cultural, and family systems, the promotion of social justice and advocacy, and
the importance of eliminating biases.
