cultural competence workshops

Cultural competence refers to an ability to interact with people of different cultures.

Cultural competence comprises four components:

-Awareness of one’s own cultural worldview

-Attitude towards cultural differences

-Knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews

-Cross-cultural skills

Developing cultural competence results in an ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures.
