Sketch portrait of African female

The Mount could learn more about culture

Participant 1: The Mount could learn more about culture, to know how to deal with African students.
Facilitator: Like how to make you, maybe, open up more? [laughter]
Participant 1: Yeah, like, more comfortable. [...] Let's say that Africans have more pride. At that moment, you know how to approach somebody who has pride; how to help them open up.

Recommendations
