CCDI Webinar: What to do to be interculturally competent (Legal)

Audience/Level: Legal profession

Presentation by: Cathy Gallagher-Louisy

Are you interculturally competent? What does that even mean? Intercultural competence (also called cultural competence) is the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately with people of other cultures. With Canada’s ethno-racial makeup changing daily, being interculturally competent has never been more important. So how does intercultural competence change in the legal/policing sector?

This webinar will introduce you to the concept of intercultural competence, including an understanding of the concept, issues unique to law/policing, and tips and tricks that individuals can action themselves to move toward being more interculturally competent.
