We all have different experiences and abilities to work with members of different cultural groups. What gives us greater capacity as individual or organizations to be effective in cross-cultural situations?

The Building Cultural Capacity webinar will explore the attitudes, knowledge and skills needed to work effectively with diverse cultural groups.   The model of cultural competence will be discussed and the framework continuum of developmental stages will be reviewed.  Participants will asked to examine and reflect upon individual levels of cultural capacity, as well as applying the model to organizational practices that either facilitate or hinder cross cultural collaboration
