It is ALL ABOUT ME
This module looks into one’s own culture and reflect on the question “What is typical of my culture and why?” Through a series of short exercises and discussions, participants will investigate and explore their cultural identities, as well as the roots of “cultural” influences. These influences will range from childhood upbringing, key events in their lives, and people who influenced them.  At the end of the module, participants will be able to identify their core values, the positive and negative aspects of these values, and the thinking and behavior flowing from them.

It is ALL ABOUT THEM
