Both workshops are grounded in an intercultural approach that is evidence informed and developmental. It is important to understand what our training is and is not: • First, the intercultural approach acknowledges race and racial issues but does not limit its focus to these issues. Rather, the focus is on culture as a broad concept that encompasses all people, and on the various aspects of cultural and social identities that may make a difference when we are interacting with one another. • Second, the goal is not to change beliefs or belief systems. The goal is to build skills so that people are effective interacting across cultural differences. • Third, the focus is on a broad set of skills that can be applied across cultures to improve communication and understanding. The training does not focus on culture specific details and information. • Fourth, although training employees can be a very productive tool, depending solely on training to foster acceptance and the skills needed to make sustainable change is severely limited. There must be sustainable efforts to support staff in applying newly acquired skills.
