DESCRIPTION:    As schools continue to change, what are some of the new skills and new 
 perspectives that will be needed to meet the challenges of a more diverse 
 population? What are some of the fears about having to change? What will be 
 required to adapt to these new cultures?\n\n    In this unique workshop and 
 training, participants will learn that cultural competency requires an 
 awareness of cultural differences, cross-cultural communications skills, 
 community development and an understanding of social issues and 
 contexts.\n\n    Through the use of films, personal stories, and 
 experiential exercises, participants will learn:\n\n    * Ways to interpret 
 and make use of new emotions and modes of communication\n    * How to 
 notice the intent and impact inherent in all our communications\n    * How 
 to listen to what is being said and what is not being said\n    * A variety 
 of ways to create a sense of community when confronted by a diverse 
 population\n    * How to ask culturally appropriate questions\n    * The 
 importance of listening and responding\n    * How to mediate conflicts that 
 are cultural in nature\n    * Exploring, culturally, what is needed and 
 what is not\n    * Different methods that can help in creating a sense of 
 community between diverse groups and individuals.\n    * How to enhance 
 your observational and listening acuity by learning how to translate 
 non-verbal messages into meaningful interventions.\n
