Communicating Across Culture
This course has given me a better outlook on communicating with other cultures and not being judgmental towards their culture because it differs from mine.

Communicating across Cultures feedback
Whilst much of this course was information that I was already aware of, it also brought forward many interesting points that need to be considered when interacting with people of different cultures. Various aspects were quite new to me or were ones I simply hadn’t considered, or I took for granted. I firmly believe communication is such a vitally important aspect in every area of our lives, and we should all make a great effort to improve our skills.

Very informative
As someone working in an aged care facility, we get to interact with residents and staff from different cultures. I certainly do agree that we have to be open to new learnings and be ready to embrace the differences among the people we care for and the people we work with. The training course was very informative and well explained. I highly recommend this course to everyone working in the Diversional therapy field as we face people from different walks of life and with different cultural backgrounds.
