WEDO GLOBAL was delighted to conduct a Cultural Sensitivity Training for colleagues at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), with a particular focus on staff who regularly interact with students, colleagues and visitors from diverse cultural backgrounds. The session explored the importance of cultural awareness and sensitivity in an educational setting, as well as practical approaches to fostering respectful and inclusive communication.
The training began with an interactive introduction to our Cultural Ambassadors and other ethnically diverse members of the Hong Kong community. This was followed by a series of interactive activities that explored different cultural practices and customs. The session sparked moments of surprise and laughter while offering meaningful insights into the lived experiences and challenges faced by ethnically diverse communities in Hong Kong.
“This training helped me better understand cultural differences and how to communicate in a friendly and respectful way with people from diverse backgrounds.”
Through the Cultural Ambassadors’ personal stories, participants also explored how common biases and stereotypes are formed, and how they can subtly influence our perceptions and behaviours in everyday interactions. The session provided an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own experiences and consider practical ways to communicate more effectively and respectfully across cultures in the workplace.
“The session helped me recognize the importance of inclusive communication in educational settings and its role in fostering a more respectful learning and working environment.”
Creating an inclusive campus is a shared responsibility across the University community. We appreciated the opportunity to work with EdUHK colleagues and to contribute to the University’s ongoing efforts to promote cultural awareness, respectful communication and an inclusive campus environment.
