Free cultural competence workshops: Monday 17 February

Free places are still available to all staff and volunteers across health and social care in Wakefield. This training will be delivered face to face over 3 hours at St Mary’s Community Centre, Pontefract, WF8 2AY.

Some of the things that will be explored in this training include:

• Becoming aware of our own cultural norms, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours.
• To examine our own personal biases, stereotypes, and prejudices.
• Better understand what unconscious bias is and to reflect upon their own.
• Understanding what is meant by ‘culture’ and why it is important for health professionals to be aware of how this can impact health.
• Understanding the impact cultural differences might have on interactions with others.
• Become comfortable with “not knowing” – balancing their expert knowledge with being open to learning from the community and people’s lived experiences.

All training facilitators a participatory approach to this training and very much support participants in becoming comfortable with “not knowing” and to encourage “learning from the community and people’s lived experiences”.
