Stereotypes - what we think of others who don't belong to our group.

Through this workshop participants will be able to:

 

- experience the frustration of multi-cultural living in a controlled situation.

- gain an understanding of what culture is.

- examine their own cultural identity.

- consider how cross-cultural confrontation can be assessed.

- explore ways to ease the day-to-day experience of living and working in a multi-cultural environment.

- learn to value diversity rather than just to recognise it.
