Reply To: ToT 4. Culture and diversity

[Yasmin Garcia]

Culture can group together a persons who have the same beliefs, traditions, norms, and the way they understand disability for instance. Where as diversity differentiate them. It is important to understand what are the cultural differences not only for the participants of a training but also for the persons they will serve so we can adapt to and respect diversity. If are able to understand cultural needs of other service providers/wheelchair users we will be more effective in meeting them.
