Cultural awareness is a tool that can ease communications and interactions with people of different ethnicities and backgrounds, and for individuals who are in a setting where they will be working with other cultures, it’s an absolutely essential mindset to develop.
As a caregiver, cultural awareness comes with many benefits, both personally and socially. Our success in life is largely built on awareness of ourselves, other people, and our environment, and cultural awareness only increases our success in forming productive relationships with other people and with the world around us.
Being aware of other cultures is a gift that facilitates powerful communication between people everywhere. By developing cultural awareness, you open up your world and make yourself available to those in need by being a safe caregiver for people from other places and from different walks of life.

There are three main course delivery modes at Southern Star Institute: Face-To-Face (F2F), Hybrid and Virtual. A participant can choose the most convenient mode for his training. However, the course structure and fees would vary for each mode. The educational content, however, would be the same but customizations would be made to suit the delivery needs.
Face-to-Face (F2F) Course Delivery
A Face-to-Face (F2F) course is delivered in a classroom setting. This means that scheduled normative hours take place in the physical classroom. F2F classroom interaction takes the form of in-person, real-time interaction between the trainer/facilitator and the participants. A F2F course would be taught for the duration specified for the respective course over a number of days or day as required. The sessions would be divided in the best possible way to effectively structure the course and convey key information to the participants.
Hybrid Course Delivery
A hybrid (or blended) course combines in-class instruction and activities with flexible, guided online learning in a virtual environment. Guided online activities in hybrid courses engage participants with independent, active learning that is supported, performed or submitted via our course learning management process. A hybrid course allows for many possible combinations of in-class and online instruction, interaction and digital learning activities, as well as a wide variety of deliverables.
Virtual Course Delivery
A fully online course is delivered virtually. This means that scheduled normative hours take place outside of a physical classroom. Fully online courses provide participants with flexibility to personalize their schedules as the course teaching and learning activities occur online through the use of our learning management process. Participants complete training, course requirements and collaborate on topics using a wide range of educational technologies and digital learning activities.
