Do you know where the ketchup goes? Are you an individualist with polychronic time orientation and an indirect communication style? If these questions sound like another language and you CAN NOT answer them you SHOULD attend PART 1 of this 2 PART series.
Part I: "Where Does the Ketchup Go?"
The training will introduce cultural competency concepts with a focus on the specific needs of community service providers as they encounter diverse communities. This training will also feature who refugees are and why/how they come (this will not be covered in Part II). Since many limited English proficient individuals face similar barriers to other vulnerable and low-income communities the awareness, skills, and strategies developed in the training are transferable for personnel interacting with a wide range of consumers from various circumstances.
The training will explore the different components of culture as they relate to ourselves and other people. The training will have three primary goals:
1) Discuss specific language and cultural aspects of the population in Oneida County
2) Explore the cultural concepts of group orientation, time orientation, and communication styles
3) Learn skills for navigating culture and language
*If you have not attended training from The Center before we highly recommend attending both Part 1 and Part 2 of this series. However, attendance at Part 1 is not required in order to sign-up for Part 2. If you only sign-up for Part 2 and are not familiar with the concepts please be aware that the presenter will only do a brief overview of concepts and go right into content.
