How does the Cultural/Diversity Competency EE Outreach Team approach education/training?
Workshops on diversity, culture, multiculturalism and cultural competence will be offered. Individual and/or group consultations and assessments will also be provided to assist EE associations and organizations to appreciate, celebrate, and respect the similarities and differences that exist among a variety of people who can add to the quality of EE. Small group sessions, trainings, workshops, and coaching will support participants to progress through several stages critical to achieving cultural competence. The stages include awareness, knowledge, skills, and encounters that ultimately complete the cycle and bring the organization and/or individual back around to further increase awareness. The new and/or increased awareness sets the stage for coaching and added input from the EE Outreach Team. Coaching and follow-up will be provided as resources allow.
