Cultural Sensitivity

Here’s another little “culture” tidbit as we prepare for our trip.  These are from the Ubuntu Cultural Sensitivity Packet, and while I know you all are aware of these sensitivity issues, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded!

            GO, Observe, Dialogue, Learn, Yearn

                        Go into the situation and environment with no expectations.

                        Observation is a valuable key to understanding a culture.

                        Dialogue and personal interactions are crucial.

                        Learn about the culture before making judgments.

                        Yearn to break old habits.

I’ve attached the entire document if you want to know more.

And for those of you interested in the situation of the Roma in Lithuania, here’s a link: http://www.truelithuania.com/gypsies-124
