Advantages of this course:

Cultural awareness is an important and integral part of supporting diversity, equality and inclusion. This course reflects on that fact that, although it is human nature to consider that one's own culture is best, it should be remembered that people from other cultures think the same about theirs. Through video tutorials, presentations and reading the course offers an insight into how being aware of a person's culture means understanding not only the outward expressions of that culture but the social aspects, intrinsic values and morals, and that challenges of people trying to live alongside other cultures on a daily basis. 

Additional activities encourage the learner to reflect on the learning.

There is also suggested extra reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge.
