About This Course

This short course will present the importance of being aware of the cultural diversity that exists in our society and the need to ensure respect. Cultural appropriation is a problematic aspect and can arise in many contexts, from public industries to the private sector, to the media, and social media. In essence, cultural appropriation is an example of an individual from another culture claiming a different culture and, with that, showing a lack of respect towards it. We must be aware of the dangers of that and make sure that respecting different cultures is the essence of our world. 

The course will look at the following:

•  Context: What is cultural appropriation and why is it a problem?

• Consider what factors could be corrected to avoid cultural appropriation.
• Discuss different contemporary policies: their strengths and weaknesses.
•  Thinking about what things we can implement to avoid cultural appropriation.
• Concluding through self-reflection and planning for the future.
