It aims to support the learner in recognizing the importance of practicing in a non- discriminatory, culturally sensitive way, respecting differences in beliefs and cultural practices of individuals or groups within society. The learner will also be encouraged to reflect on their own life experience vis - a- vie others, to see the world as others see it.
