SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Cultural Awareness Training Taster Online
DESCRIPTION:Our Cultural Awareness Training course helps people understand the role culture plays in shaping our experiences and expectations in life\, as well as preparing them to relate more effectively to people from different cultural backgrounds or perspectives.

Expect an interactive\, engaged\, discursive session\, including a Cultural Case Study facilitated by a trainer with lived experience. We will have 15 minutes at the end for questions.  \nIt is free to attend. Register to be sent a link and a reminder on the day\, or find out more. \nCurious but can’t make it? Book a 15 minute call with Suus to discuss how we can help.
