Building Cultural Competence explores ideas around culture, giving easy to understand descriptions of the basis of cultural differences. It explores ideas around different cultural views of ‘what is good and bad’ and ‘what is right and wrong’ which drive how we think we should behave in different situations. It looks at how we can improve our understanding when interacting or working with people from a culture different to our own, by increasing our self-awareness and having an open and curious mind.
