The Cultural Awareness Project is a student-led initiative supported by Goldsmiths Annual Fund.
It aims to create an intercultural space to enhance cultural awareness and stimulate debate through a series of workshops, seminars and discussions. Trainee art psychotherapists within the STaCS Department are committed to principles that respect cultural diversity and actively challenge discriminatory assumptions, stereotypes, and interpretations; these sessions strive to contextualise the impact of diversity, without shame and foster future self-reflective practices to deepen understanding of the wider socio-political influences for marginalised communities. These opportunities are focused for trainee art psychotherapists but are also open to interested Goldsmiths students.
