Strategy A: Address behavior, attitudes, power and privilege in cross-cultural trainings.

Cross-Cultural Trainings Objective: Provide and participate in ongoing staff and faculty training. Theme: Infrastructure

Address behavior, attitudes, power and privilege in cross-cultural trainings. Trainings must move beyond understanding the cultural differences, beyond awareness, and challenge deep-rooted beliefs of traditional society. Assess what skills are needed to better work across cultures and integrate training into the work environment. Provide opportunities for practice. Engage people from different backgrounds and initiate discussions that allow individuals to voice what they are learning and what they are struggling with. Co-teach/facilitate with people from under-represented backgrounds.
