Cultural Competence for the 21st Century : Preparing for a Global Market Institutional & Community Facilitator Training The YWCA and several community partners are bringing Lee Mun Wah, a nationally-acclaimed lecturer and Master Diversity and Communications Trainer to Mankato to train individuals to facilitate conversations with adults about race and diversity. The training is titled Cultural Competence for the 21st Century: Preparing for a Global Market and consists of two days of training; the first December 3rd at MSU and the second to follow early next year. Participants will gain skills to aid with conflict resolution and a better understanding of working cross culturally and with different cultural perspectives. We are offering this training as part of our ongoing cross cultural competency building efforts. "The YWCA supports the work of the Greater Mankato Area Diversity Council in schools by bringing that message to adults in the community,” said Anne Ganey, YWCA Director. “Lee Mun Wah is one of the most skilled individuals working in cross cultural community building in the country and we are fortunate to have this opportunity to work with him here, in the Mankato area.” |
