Embark on a transformative journey through our Cultural Competence Skills Day, designed to empower university social work students with a profound understanding of key theories in cultural competence. Our immersive approach combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience using creative techniques that make learning both engaging and memorable.

 

Explore essential theories like:

• Intercultural Competence: Equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to effectively engage with diverse cultures.

• Intersectionality: Recognize the complex interplay of identities and experiences.

• Cultivate Cultural Humility: Practice self-reflection. Embrace different perspectives.

• Social Justice: Address systemic inequalities. Advocate for change.

 

What sets us apart is our use of creative techniques such as forum theatre, poetry analysis, movement, and in-depth discussions. These methods create a safe and dynamic environment for experiential learning. By participating in interactive activities and reflective exercises, you'll not only grasp these theories but also put them into practice.

Join us for a day that goes beyond textbooks and lectures, providing you with the practical skills and cultural competence needed to excel in the field of social work. Unleash your potential and foster an inclusive and just society through immersive and innovative learning.
