Cultural competency workshop
Our Mildura cultural competency training will help you appreciate and respect cultural differences. This training is vital in the workplace to build stronger relationships, improve employee morale, and enhance client engagement. It also addresses key issues like white privilege and discrimination, fostering a more inclusive and effective environment.
The workshop is taught by a qualified teacher and second-generation refugee who has been working with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Sunraysia for over 15 years.
With over 6 years of experience in research and teaching cultural competency workshops, the new and improved interactive workshop offers a unique focus on several key theories. These include whiteness theory, the refugee experience, cultural and behavioural differences, cross-cultural communication skills, and strategies for communicating more effectively with CALD communities.
After the workshop, you will then have the opportunity to practise your cross-cultural communication skills weekly at the English and Culture Learning Centre if you wish.
Your trainer holds a Master’s in Education and has been a dedicated advocate, mentor, and case manager for some of the most traumatised (Tier 3) refugee CALD clients. Over the years, she has listened to thousands of refugee, migrant, and asylum seeker stories, and has supported their concerns, goals, and dreams for a new life in Australia.
We can curtail your training to your organisation and in relation to your main CALD cohorts.
“This training not only changed my brain, but my heart.”
