One need not travel outside of MN to encounter cultures from all around the world. How do we ensure respect and understanding of multiple cultures as we engage in community? With humility and agility, we can grow our capacity to be responsive leaders in multicultural settings. In our time together, we will use reflecting on our home cultures to cultivate tools for cultural agility in our community work.
Learning Objectives:
● Describe the importance of cultural agility
● Identify aspects of my own culture and understand how it impacts my worldview
● Recognize the core dimensions of cultural difference
● Identify ways to navigate cultures with agility, humility and leadership
