Multicultural Competence
Multi-Culturally competent individuals have knowledge, awareness, and skills that enable them to interact successfully and respectfully with people of different backgrounds, viewpoints, and values. Multi-Culturally competent individuals demonstrate a good understanding of the power structure in society, while acknowledging commonalities across cultures. They support social justice and move beyond tolerance to a more profound understanding of diversity. Cultural competence is never a fully attained state, but continues to develop throughout an individual's lifetime.
