How can we transform cultural diversity into valuable resources at home?

The first thing we did was writing a text above a stripdrawning. We had the sentens 'Ow, i want to have hem in our basketballteam!' Then i discussed in another group what they had and how they would work on bringing cultural diversity in the class. But that was not so difficult for me to explain how i would do it.
We had a course in my home institution in Belgium and it was caled cultural diversity. What we learned in course we tried to use it in our practice. The theme of the practice was Christmas. I had a lot of children from another culture like Africans, Jamaicans, Marokkans, ... and also from China. The meaning was that we integrated al Cultures about Christmas. Because the children were 3 years i had to integrate it in a simpel way. I let them bring things from their home to let them tell how they celebrate parties. We also maked celebrationfood from the different cultures. I let them also tell how they celebrate some traditional partys and they could bring pictures and other things to the class to show the other children. They really liked it that they could tel about their habbits.




What you can also do to integrate culture class:
  • make a cookingbook with recepies from other cultures.
  • drawnings
  • collectiontable from every country
  • presenting your land
  • ...
i think it's important that not only the new one in class who comes from another country present himself with his culture but i think the other students also need to do it. Cause it's not only the students how needs to know the new pupil but also the new pupil needs to know the class.

I maked this poster to appreciate diversity:
