Video. Multicultural education – its place in our vocational colleges and universities
Dr. Spiteri talks about the importance of self-awareness and self-reflexivity as the building blocks of cultural competence. He observes that people’s attitude to cultural differences is as important as the differences themselves are. He believes that through coming to know and coming to critically evaluate their own attitudes, communication between people of different cultures can become clearer, more insightful and more meaningful. He also believes that students should take an active role in enabling that learning to come about, thereby co-creating learning opportunities among themselves and also together with lecturers, ensuring that everybody is invited to participate.
