  • Core concepts of intercultural awareness, including intersectionality, cultural competence and micro-incivilities
  • Practical steps for embedding intercultural awareness at both individual and organisational level
  • Reflective prompts and real‑world considerations for supporting children and families seeking asylum or with refugee status

It complements the CPD-accredited online Intercultural Awareness course.
