Culture shapes the way we communicate, understand information, interpret situations, and relate with others. In this insightful session, Dr. Ruth Akumbu explores how cultural differences can create interpretation gaps and misunderstandings in communication.

Discover how our cultural backgrounds influence our perceptions, assumptions, language, values, and responses—and learn practical ways to bridge these gaps for better understanding and more effective communication.

Whether in the classroom, workplace, community, or everyday relationships, understanding culture is essential for building stronger connections and avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings.
