Cultural Competency Workshop

Workshop Aims

The aim of the workshop is to help participants to develop cultural awareness by:

· exploring what culture is

· identifying your own culture and how it may differ from others

· understanding unconscious bias

· reflecting on your own behaviours and actions and how you can become more inclusive

Supporting Information

The workshop provides valuable space to think about what culture means to you and your work colleagues – participants are asked to come with an open and curious mind and be prepared to listen to different perspectives.

This workshop won’t answer all of your questions about different cultural groups, but it will help you to work out how to be more inclusive so that people you interact with feel respected and valued. You will be encouraged to think about cultural competency in relation to your role, work area or organisation.

This workshop is being evaluated as part of a DHIP test and learn pilot. We welcome any feedback, and we may follow up on actions from the day with individuals or organisations so that we can better understand the workshop’s impact.
