Contents of the Culture and Faith Awareness session
This full day training session is designed for anyone that wants to enhance and enrich their learning on how to interact well with people of different faiths and cultures.
Participants will increase their skills and develop awareness and humility of those from different cultures and faiths. It’s not about getting the right answers – instead the training focuses on building your ability to ask the right questions and see things from a different perspective.
The training will aim to raise awareness of the cultural norms and breakdown barriers to engagement in order to increase participation within minority ethnic communities.
As part of the training session, we can also initiate mini tours if your venue is near faith centres or places of worship. This helps to build and strengthen relationships in your own communities and provide the opportunity to engage in active learning. Additional areas of learning can be added on request.
