Social Skills for Newcomer Families focuses on equipping participants with essential interpersonal communication skills necessary for successful integration into their new communities. The course emphasizes practical engagement through project-based learning, allowing participants to apply their skills in real-world contexts. By fostering an interactive environment, learners will gain confidence in navigating social situations, building relationships, and understanding cultural nuances.
Participants will engage in various activities designed to enhance their communication abilities, including role-playing scenarios, group discussions, and collaborative projects. The course culminates in a final project where learners will create a community resource guide tailored to newcomer families, showcasing their understanding of social skills and integration strategies. This hands-on approach not only promotes learning but also encourages participants to share their findings in Cademix Magazine, contributing to a broader dialogue on integration practices.
