Building Trust Across Cultures
Building Trust Across Cultures
Trusting relationships are at the foundation of inclusivity. In professional settings, the actions and experiences that establish trust can differ across individuals and cultures.
In this workshop, we will:
- discuss why taking time for trust building is vital in multicultural interactions and teams.
- define different orientations to trust-building and locate our own orientation.
- learn about the role of empathy and cultural humility in trust building.
- explore strategies for shifting our approach trust-building in work with colleagues and students.
This will be an interactive workshop – be prepared for reflection and application activities. If you have questions or specific scenarios you would like to discuss, please contact Victoria Surtees: Victoria.surtees@ufv.ca
