BRMC's Cultural Competency Training is immersive and participatory and supports participants to develop essential skills and knowledge in cross-cultural work and inclusion. Participants will develop the confidence and capacity to effectively engage with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our workshops are facilitated by qualified trainers with lived experience of being migrants or refugees to Australia. We value participatory, self-reflective exchanges to frame learning within individual experience.  

The Cultural Competency Training will be delivered face to face and cover the following:

• Understanding who our local communities are and changing demographics

• Building skills in cross-cultural work

• Understanding bias and how this effects working cross-culturally

The training will be delivered by Mina Abdolmaleki, BRMC’s Settlement Coordinator, and a Co-Facilitator (TBD). Our trainers bring a wealth of training and cross-cultural experience and will share their own unique experiences of migrating to, and settling in, Australia.
