In collaboration with the Student Affairs Office (SAO), the Teaching and Learning Enhancement (TLE) Section of the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) organised a cultural sensitivity training session on 8 January 2025.
This training, facilitated by representatives from WEDO Global, offered an interactive and engaging experience, helping participants deepen their understanding of the challenges faced by ethnic minority (EM) students within our community.
Through a series of collaborative activities and real-life case sharing, participants gained valuable insights into fostering a more inclusive and respectful environment. They acquired essential knowledge about navigating cultural complexities, including effective cross-cultural communication strategies and practical dos and don’ts for creating inclusive workplaces and learning environments. These strategies not only promote understanding but also help to bridge gaps between diverse groups.
This training marked a meaningful step towards building a university culture that values diversity and inclusion. By equipping participants with strategies to engage more effectively across differences, the training laid the foundation for a more supportive and harmonious campus community.
As we move forward, let us strive to create a welcoming campus that celebrates diversity, enriches shared experiences, and fosters a true sense of belonging for everyone.
