Community Cultural Awareness

One of the challenges for any community that resettles refugees is to help them access the services that are already in place in the community. Barriers to access range from language difficulties to radical differences in culture. The more the community learns about other cultures, the easier the blending process will become.

The Refugee Development Center offers an assortment of educational programs about refugee groups and their cultures to the Lansing community.

Also available from the Refugee Center:  Training for agency personnel in how to deal with people from other cultures, and information about the particular refugee cultures with which they are dealing.
