What Does The Program Cover?
The Culture & Money Cultural Competency Training provides learners an education around First Nations peoples experiences with money.
The training offers culturally responsive content where participants can explore, test and question preconceived values and understandings of First Nations culture as it relates to money. Grounded in contemporary and historical contexts, learners will build rich and informed knowledge to apply when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.
The training covers five learning modules:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in everyday life.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander belief, lore and family systems.
Impacts of historical events, government legislation and policy.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perceptions and relations to money.
Working and communicating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, clients and colleagues.
What is Cultural Competency?
Cultural competency requires an awareness of cultural diversity and the ability to work effectively and respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
A culturally competent person will acknowledge:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as diverse and living.
- The influence of one’s own culture and belief systems in their interactions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
- Understanding around current and historical challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
