The challenges faced by ‘widening participation’ students have been well documented in several countries and yet students from so-called non-traditional backgrounds continue to report considerable challenges in adapting to university life. Researchers in the UK and South Africa have collaborated on a project to explore staff perceptions of student difference. Using the data from this research they have developed freely available resources which are designed to support the development of the cultural competence needed to help all students to integrate effectively into university life. This workshop will summarise the findings and provide an opportunity to try out the resources.
