The Cultural Orientation Resource Center (at the Center for Applied
Linguistics) has a series of cultural profiles for different refugee
groups.  There are profiles for Hmong and Somali among others. The
profile provide a good cultural overview for anyone working with
different refugee groups.

Subject: [NIFL-WORKPLACE] cultural sensitivity

I'm working on developing a cultural sensitivity module to bring to
workplaces. The information will be geared toward native english
supervisors and employees. 

The focus for the module is working with Hmong, Somali, and Mexican
employees and increasing cultural sensitivity toward them.

Has any done this or have any suggestions on resources, etc.?

Thanks,

Mary Elsenheimer
