Premised on the needs of the current globalized world and the multicultural composition of Canada, this course is an introduction to cultural diversity and how people`s cultural background affects their behaviours, attitudes, and perception of others and the world around them.
Through theoretical discussions, historical facts sharing, film analysis, multicultural group work, personal reflection, and experiential learning activities, the course will also facilitate a critical examination of the barriers to develop intercultural competence and a proactive approach to overcome those barriers.
The ultimate goal of the course is to motivate learners to adopt a deeper cultural awareness while they sharpen their ability to work and communicate effectively in multicultural academic, professional, and community settings.
