The purpose of diversity training

The purpose of diversity training - The purpose of diversity training is to help people learn about others who are different to them. Participants are encouraged to learn more about others and to become more tolerant of them with a view to improving communication in the workplace.

In order to be a Diversity Trainer there are certain skills needed. Self awareness is probably the most important attribute. There is no point in encouraging other people to be more open minded if the Trainer is not. I feel that I have been through a lot in my lifetime, in particular growing up in Northern Ireland I have seen first hand what intolerance brings to a community. In my other role as a mother I also try to be tolerant - this, as other parents will tell you is not always easy when a child is testing your boundaries and you feel like you are going to snap. Come to think of it, in my role as a mother I am also a trainer, I am training my children how to behave, to have manners and to respect other people. Again I have got to practise what I preach.
