Navigating Difference: Cultural Competency Training for Outreach Professionals is a national program that is being implemented in twelve state at institutes of higher learning and public school systems across the country.
Sharpen Your Skills:The people and the communities serving and served by outreach programs throughout the United States are more diverse than ever. Navigating Difference will help you as an outreach professional:
- Become more aware of your own personal and organizational culture;
- Examine how those cultures affect your ability to work across difference, negatively and positively; and
- Hone your ability to work with others who are different than you.
Focus On Results:
Those who participate in Navigating Difference increase their ability to:
- Use cultural guides to plan and implement programming;
- Recognize cultural conflict styles;
- Understand the barriers to intercultural communications;
- Ask more questions;
- Listen more carefully; and
- Look for non-verbal cues from those with whom they communicate.
