Cultural competence workshop

In June the University launched ‘Wingara Mura – Bunga Barrabugu’ - The University of Sydney’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Integrated Strategy. This strategy identifies actions at all levels of the University and includes an aspiration to produce culturally competent graduates that will operate in, and impact positively on, the national and global community.
This workshop is designed to provide an opportunity to understand the drivers for, and key elements of the strategy. It is also an opportunity to explore what cultural competence is and how culture impacts on our thinking and behaviour.

Objectives:

• Provide an understanding of the context for and the commitments in the University’s Integrated Strategy.
• Explore what cultural competence is and the values, attitudes and behaviour that support a culturally competent workplace
• Understand the importance of cultural self reflection in building understanding of the impact of culture on thinking and behaviour.

Please note this workshop requires completion of a short anonymous pre-workshop survey that will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
