Cultural competence

Cultural competence is a set of knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes that come together in a system, with the purpose of enabling people to work and interact productively and effectively with people from different cultural backgrounds. These abilities aim to promote inclusion and respect in a multicultural learning environment by making people from all backgrounds feel comfortable being their authentic selves. These abilities facilitate a harmonious and respectful learning environment, as well as enable students to flourish in careers that need them to deal with a varied spectrum of colleagues and clients, assuring their success in an increasingly interconnected global workforce. 

The main goal of these exercises is to:  

• Develop the cultural awareness and expression competence of individuals.  
• Support them to be more conscious on what culture and cultural differences in relation to time management in different cultural contexts are, 
• Be incorporated into their daily lives.
