This curriculum allows an organization and its constituents to attain foundational knowledge on belonging and cultural competence. This knowledge is not only useful for the organization, but also equips individuals with the skills to navigate their personal journeys relating to belonging and cultural competence. Without a strong foundation, there will be a lack of understanding and purpose behind the programming and practices that are instituted by an organization. This lack of understanding may lead individuals within an organization to feel confused and defensive about different initiatives. Moreover, apathy and disengagement could result when individuals lack the knowledge to “connect the dots” between organizational actions and the purpose and beliefs behind those actions. The resultant cognitive dissonance will lead to an uphill battle as institutions try and build a culturally competent organization. This course addresses how to build an inclusive culture marked by belonging. In this curriculum, we take theory and put into practice using the knowledge we have attained from working with and in organizations for many years. We will use some case studies to break down different concepts and equip with frameworks on how to think through a variety of issues and situations within your organization. Thank you for enrolling and can’t wait to see you on the inside.
