Join Connected Voice for this online session.
Our cultural competency training is funded by Newcastle Public Health team and informed by the experiences of people from local communities through the Haref Network. It is free for staff and volunteers designing and delivering services in Newcastle-upon-Tyne only, who wish to improve their reach of services with ethnically marginalised communities. These multi-agency sessions, delivered on Microsoft Teams, will enable participants to connect with and deliver effective services to people across marginalised communities. The sessions are 2 hour 30 minutes long with interactive exercises, videos and discussion points to take back to your organisations.
Learning outcomes
Through a combination of activities and discussion, participants will:
- Explore what do we mean by culture?
- Understand the diverse and intersecting characteristics of local communities
- Develop skills to identify barriers to accessing services
- Recognise good practice
- Feel more confident in working with different communities
After the session we provide a resource sheet with information to follow up and a post-session questionnaire to take the learning from the session and put it into practice.
