Class Description

“Beyond Cultural Awareness” is an introduction to exploring our own culturally bound beliefs. This interactive and engaging training fosters meaningful conversations and provides tools that support equity, embrace diversity, and encourage us to find real ways to be more inclusive.

This training will provide opportunities to challenge, expand, and enhance comprehension of diversity and inclusivity, which in turn leads to more ethical and compassionate interactions and increased potential for equity, dignity, and improved well-being for all.

Upon completion of this class, you will be able to know and do the following:

• Consider your own cultural beliefs and practices that influence conscious and unconscious bias, discrimination, and racism and understand the impact on caregiving.
• Identify subjective beliefs and personal values in relation to the needs of differing cultures, ethnic groups, age, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical ability.
• Describe ways to develop and put into place cultural humility, genuine respect, equity, and inclusion.
• Develop a plan of action for engaging others and championing the need for equity and inclusivity within one’s own sphere of influence.
