Australian South Sea Islanders

Defining Cultures

In Defining cultures:

Throughout the workshop we'll use scenarios to explore the various cultural sensitivities of Australian South Sea Islanders. It is impossible to define any culture, let alone Australian South Sea Islander culture. The scenarios presented in these workshops are in no way intended to illustrate the cultural patterns of all Australian South Sea Islanders.

These scenarios are based on fact, but are not factual. Names and circumstances have been changed.

To begin, let's take a look at the impact of culture.

Communication strategies – Defining cultures outlines cultural sensitivities explored throughout the module.

Reflections – Defining cultures provides further food for thought and discussion.
