Working and Counseling with ethnic minorities
Dr Maria Voulgaridou

Description/ objectives:
The lab is designed to encompass three elements that are important in providing effective service to such populations: “Ethnicity” denotes cultural distinctiveness, which supplies meaning to the cross-cultural encounter between the counselor and the benefiters. The term “minorities” refers to specific groups who are relatively powerless, often receive unequal treatment and regard themselves as objects of discrimination. The term “counseling” requires that the counselor has to recognize the boundaries of their cultural values, signs and behavioral styles and to know how these boundaries are managed, protected and used in the counseling process.

Learning outcomes:
- Acquiring all the necessary tools to work effectively with migrants
- Learn the various cultural aspects that determine the behavior of migrants

Duration:
3 hours

Target Group:
professionals and practitioners working in the field of migration, NGOs, students
