HMH A77 - Critical Cultural Competency

Course Description

Perspective taking is at the core of our social interactions. We attempt to consider another’s perspective to help us predict their future actions in all areas of work and play. This experiential workshop allows people to actively explore their own perspective in comparison and contrast with others to enrich cultural competency. Activities will help participants understand that people see things through unique lenses, affected by their psycho-cultural heritage, education, experiences, and their inherent nature which frames perspectives. Examples come from conducting this work in seven countries with 18 different nationalities. This program satisfies the cultural competency requirement for social workers.
