(Name-mce) ListServ Cultural competence: What does it mean?

[ZS Worotynec]

Hello list members,

The org I work for is embarking on doing 'something' in the area of 
cultural diversity/cultural competence. We are health promoters in 
maternal, newborn and early child development. We may be developing a 
resource guide, manual, coordinating a conference, or creating a website. 
It's all up for discussion at this early stage, however, we are asking 
ourselves the question "What *is* cultural competence for service 
providers? What does it mean to be culturally competent?

I've done some online research and visited some great sites, but I thought 
it might be interesting to see what kinds of responses come from NAME. 
Though we are in health promotion, education is clearly part of that.

I'll collect responses and post a summary back to the list.

TIA for your ideas and contributions,

ZS.
