This course is designed to increase cultural awareness and provide participants with the skills to engage and communicate more effectively and confidently with international students.
Cultural awareness and communication is important for all RCSI staff interacting with international students in many different contexts. Cultural awareness as well as an ability to communicate across cultures contributes to the well-being of the students and allows those who work with international students to feel more confident when dealing with issues arising from cultural difference.
The course will be interactive and will draw on participants own experience.
At the end of the course you will be able to:
- Define the key terms relating to ‘culture’ and apply this knowledge to discuss cultural difference in a positive way
- Understand how awareness about other cultures and cultural differences can improve your interaction in a multicultural environment
- Identify barriers to effective cross cultural communication
- Use enhanced communication skills to engage and interact successfully with international students.
