Our world today is characterised by communities encompassing of people belonging to a diversity of cultural backgrounds. Sometimes, where there are cultural differences, tension can arise, and mistakes can be made. This course explores the importance of self-reflection and looks at ways we can grow our cultural and global knowledge. We consider some practical ways we can make meaningful connections across common barriers and leave participants with tangible actions to develop their own culture.
This is a 3hr session that will include two short comfort breaks during the session.
