The first part of developing a cultural competency is to understand our own culture and how that influences how we see and experience the world. This workshop is an opportunity for self-reflection and learning in an environment that is safe and supportive and gives participants the chance to challenge themselves.

We need to understand why we see the world as we do, and why others don't always see it in the same way.

This workshop will explore the concept of cultural lens, understanding bias and stereotypes, and promoting cultural competence and inclusivity. It incorporates a variety of interactive activities, discussions, and reflections to engage participants and facilitate learning and dialogue.

Learning Objectives:

To explore the concept of cultural lens and its impact on perceptions, attitudes, and behaviours.
To understand biases and stereotyping.
To promote awareness, empathy, and inclusivity

The workshop is interactive and facilitated by Tania Harris, HCC’s Engagement Manager and Aboriginal Lead.
