  • Help identify and correctly interpret socio-cultural clues.
  • Enhance interpersonal communication.
  • Promote cultural competence in academic and social contexts.
  • Address and reduce cultural bias.

By the end of the workshop, participants should:

  • Be able to identify the impact of cultural backgrounds on learning and the student experience
  • Feel more confident interacting with and supporting students and other individuals within the university who are from diverse cultural backgrounds.
  • Be able to identify and adapt to cultural clues in classroom or social interactions.
  • Be able to appreciate some of the university’s initiatives to improve socio-cultural awareness in a holistic, collaborative, and evidence-based manner.
  • Be able to better contribute to a university environment that values and respects cultural diversity.

This set of objectives helps align the workshop with the broader goal of building an inclusive and culturally aware university community.
