Around the World Holidays Exploring

Help me give my students Understanding of holidays from different cultures and promote cultural awareness.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thornton's classroom raised $208

This project is fully funded

My Project

In an increasingly interconnected world, knowledge of different cultures is crucial for becoming a responsible global citizen. Understanding and respecting the traditions of others contributes to a more harmonious and cooperative global community.

By completing this unit, we will be able to discover holidays and traditions from around the world that many students would never get to hear or experience.

It allows my learners to appreciate the diversity of traditions, customs, and celebrations that enrich the global tapestry. This project will help my learners recognize the value of diversity, empathy, tolerance, and broaden their perspective by engaging them in alternative ways of thinking, living, and celebrating. Finally, it contributes to the development of well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to a harmonious and inclusive global society.
