A culture is defined as a group or community that shares common experiences that shape the way they understand the world. The organizations and communities within which we work are becoming increasingly diverse - made up of people and groups with experiences and histories different from our own. These differences are a source of valuable perspective and strength, but they can also lead to misunderstanding and poor communication that may hinder our effectiveness.
This part of the Community Tool Box provides a framework and support for assessing and enhancing cultural competence in you, your organization, group or community.
The Community Tool Box is a service of the
Work Group for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas.
