We live in a diverse and increasingly global world which is also reflected within schools and classrooms. Students need to develop empathy and compassion for others in order to be contributing and engaging global citizens. Schools and families have an important role to play in supporting this critical competency. This resource provides educators with an informative and interactive perspective on creating a culturally sensitive learning environment. The resource is intended to:
- increase and share your knowledge and skills in the areas of communication and culture,
- establish valuable networks and connections with other communities and teachers
- expand and reflect on our own interests and practice and therefore, help others to become more culturally- and communicatively- sensitive teachers.
Acknowledgements: This resource was created by a team of teachers with a shared interest in culture and communication.
