This micro-credential aims to support the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes for those involved in cross-cultural and multi-lingual consultations in health and social care, such as interpreters, healthcare professionals, healthcare managers and staff of non-profit/non-government organisations.

 

The course focuses on encouraging self-reflexivity, intercultural awareness, interpersonal communication, and critical reflections on power inequalities and privilege. Informed by critical migration research, this course presents intercultural awareness and cultural responsiveness as dynamic, reflective, inter-relational processes, rather than a suite of cultural facts to be learned about migrant communities.
