PROGRAM: Cultural Sensitivity/Poverty Simulation

Description Program / Service Provided:

Diversity workshops are designed to help participants begin to look introspectively at their attitudes and beliefs concerning other people.

The “Faces in the Crowd” workshop helps individuals and groups develop greater sensitivity to others.

The workshops are brought to all agencies requesting diversity and sensitivity training.

The “Poverty Simulation” is designed to help participants understand what it might be like to be part of a low income family trying to survive from month to month. It helps sensitize participants to the realities of life for low income people.

History:

Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc. has been offering the workshops since 2000.
