Day 3, Wednesday, 1:30 p.m.-2:45 p.m. (1.25 hours)
Purpose
This session is intended to help participants focus on the need for a systematic
approach to a community-wide planning system that is culturally competent
and inclusive of the unique cultural diversity within each partnership's
community.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Complete the transition from the personal issues that arose during Unit
3A (Enhancing Cultural Consciousness) to the organizational issues related
to creating inclusive planning systems for their partnerships.
Explore the implications of developing a culturally competent system for
one segment of the community.
Linkages with Preceding and Following Sessions
This session builds on the previously discussed materials on planning,
prevention approaches, and inclusiveness. During the team time that preceded
this session, team members should have moved beyond their personal reactions
to cultural consciousness issues to looking at how these issues affect
their partnership. Understanding the need for an inclusive and systematic
process leads into tomorrow's sessions, which will explore how to mobilize
the community and involve it in project needs assessment and planning.
