Walking in Two Worlds
A course on working with cultural difference designed specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
Why?
This program recognises that successful service delivery, joint management / collaboration and reconciliation are only possible if Aboriginal people also have the tools and skills to understand other cultures and interact effectively.
What?
The course provides a common base for understanding cultural difference and uses CCC’s compare and contrast model. Practical examples demonstra te why cultures organise the world in particular ways and how to manage different approaches.
How?
The format caters to diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learning styles and ways of processing information. Stories, cases, films, art, discussion, games and a range of other activities explore key values and patterns of behaviour and interaction in different cultures.
