Inter-Cultural Communication
A significant feature of cultural awareness is recognizing how individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds communicate (Netting et al., 2008). As discussed in HLTH 320, this not only helps planners gain a better understanding of individuals’ cultural background but also identify how to successfully engage with them (Netting et al., 2008). For me, this involved learning certain words in a youth’s primary language, using simple English, enunciating words, and using non-verbal communication (Netting et al., 2008). Coupled with verbal communication, I used active listening, gestures, and observed individuals’ facial expressions and body language (Brach et al., 2012).
