Cultural Validation: Ensuring Organizations are Conducting Cultural Humility and Language Justice (July 25, 2024, 12-1:30 pm PST/3-4:30 pm EST)
The IRC and CARRE invite you to a webinar spotlighting the importance of Cultural Validation in resource development for children and families who have experienced forced displacement, and the necessity of cultural humility and language justice throughout the process, happening Thursday July 25th, 2024, 12-1:30 pm PST/3-4:30 pm EST. This webinar will feature the foundations of the cultural validation process; examples of cultural validation in resource development by and for the communities we work alongside; and the adaptation of the “2024 Cultural Validation and Translation Review Toolkit,” guiding providers on how to implement the cultural validation process within their own organization. We are delighted to be conducting this collaborative session alongside NRC-RIM and Equity Languages!
What is this webinar about?
When developing materials and resources in different languages for diverse cultural communities, it is important that service providers ensure the materials are linguistically relevant, accurate, and culturally informed. Literal translation of documents from English to another language can lead to misunderstandings, cause offense, or result in unintended messages, particularly, if documents are translated without considering cultural nuances and references of the target audience.
Cultural Validation is the process of bilingual, bicultural community members reviewing and providing feedback on content to ensure materials have the best possible framing and approach for the intended audience.
Why should you attend?
After participating in this 90-minute webinar, you will be able to:
- Describe the cultural validation process and its importance
- Identify ways providers can support families who have been forcibly displaced through the development of materials and program enhancements that have gone through the cultural validation process
- Hear examples of cultural validation in practice and the impact of this work
- Learn actionable steps that you can take to implement the cultural validation process in your organization

- Build community capacity and peer support to respond to mental health needs in forcibly displaced communities.
Who should attend?
