This 5-Day teacher training course focuses on multicultural education and is designed for educational professionals to introduce the concepts of cultural tolerance, social empowerment, and the intersection of cultures in the global classroom, as well as to provide multiple perspectives and strategies for teaching a culturally diverse population.  

 

This course aims to broaden and deepen your understanding, experience, and critical thinking skills with regard to cultural differences and cross-cultural interactions in the classroom. Intercultural competence—a lifelong and ongoing learning process—is introduced as a crucial skill set and benefit to the individual, organisations, interpersonal relationships, and society. You will develop foundational skills that will help you as you continue to become more inter-culturally aware while teaching and will improve your personal and professional relationships. Analysing the role of  culture in the world, developing culturally responsive practices, and understanding the barriers, the benefits and challenges of diversity will be emphasised in this course.
