Course overview

The Cultural Diversity course, which is part of the SBS Inclusion Porgram, helps individuals navigate and maximise the benefits of cultural diversity.

  • Understand how written, verbal and non-verbal expressions might vary across cultures
  • Understand how environment and object language vary across cultures
