Ep.5: Cultural Competence Vs. Cultural Humility

from The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast · host Nawar Sayyad

In this episode, I break down the key differences between cultural competence and cultural humility — two concepts that often get confused but come from very different mindsets. While cultural competence focuses on acquiring knowledge, cultural humility asks us to lead with curiosity, question our assumptions, and embrace the ongoing process of learning and unlearning. I draw from real-world examples and my experience as a child welfare professional and university lecturer to illustrate why humility — not mastery — is what builds meaningful, respectful relationships.   Follow me on social media HERE.  Click HERE for a transcript of the episode.
