Description

   Cultural awareness involves raising people's understanding of the influence our culture has on how we do things including how we communicate what foods we eat or even how we go about our work. Being culturally aware means understanding why cultural diversity is important and recognizing that not every person will do things in the same manner as we do. Being mindful of this diversity allows us to be more respectful of the way others operate based on their cultural backgrounds. While you may not be intimately familiar with other cultures if you at least understand your own culture and how it affects you can take the first step in developing a sense of cultural awareness when it comes to interacting with people who may have a different background than yourself.

   Cultural safety refers to an environment that is safe for all people. An environment where there's no denial of or challenge to their identity or to who they are. It is a space that embraces the differences between people and allows for a shared experience of respect acknowledgement and understanding. A culturally safe environment allows people from different cultures to come together to work with dignity. Understanding that a person's perspective is shape by complex personal experiences and their cultural background. It also involves the awareness of your own cultural assumptions when communicating in cross-cultural context.  The ey to understand other people culture is to learn their local language, this will open a very bigger doors to communication.
