Cultural Awareness

Culture Hub

The Culture Hub newsletter was launched this year to tell our collective story through the eyes, origins and cross-cultural experiences of staff.

An initiative of the Cultural Competence Committee, the newsletter is written and produced quarterly. Each edition introduces us to the faces and views that enrich Centacare’s culture and contribute to our own world view.

In recent months, Culture Hub has taken us to Venezuela where the passion of flamenco was ignited in Adriana Diaz (pictured), Thessaloniki in the north of Greece with Effie Georgiadis (pictured opposite), the capital of Iran with Ella Zereshki and Lebanon with Pascale Nicolitsi.

We have ushered in the Year of the Ox on Chinese New Year with Karen Wang, Andy Wong, Anna An, and Sok Chuan Yap; broken fast at the end of Ramadan with Amina Mujkic; and learned about 'badnjak', a Serbian Christmas tradition, with Milica Miocinovic.

Culture Hub assists in bringing cultural competence to the forefront, and keeps everyone at Centacare engaged and connected with one another.
