Postponed - Women in Construction Week: YWCA Becoming Culturally Competent

Workshop - Becoming Culturally Competent

Cultural competence is the ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures. YWCA Greater Cleveland is excited to offer a workshop on becoming a culturally competent individual. The workshop provides an introduction to the framework and rationale for being a culturally competent individual in today’s multi-cultural society. Participants will learn about the relationship between culture and diversity and begin to examine what shapes our cultural backgrounds. They will begin to develop understanding of how cultural values shape our attitudes and beliefs and how these factors impact our behavior at home, at work, and in the community.
