Workshop Overview
Cultural appropriation is when people adopt part of another culture without acknowledging its significance or cultural source. It is harmful when dominant cultures appropriate from marginalized ones. Halloween costumes or sports teams with Native American identities as mascots are examples.
In contrast, cultural appreciation involves an interest in learning about that culture, sharing it respectfully, and giving full credit to the people who belong to it. As a leader, you can help build cultural competence among your team and foster inclusion by providing your team with this training to understand the difference.
