Understanding Culture
The word culture has come to describe the mixture of beliefs, customs and social norms that are shared by a group of people from a specific place. This place can be a country, a region, a community or even a workplace or place of education.
Sadly, much of what children are exposed to is filtered through the media and focuses on the most extreme examples of the clashes between cultures. This can fuel the fire of prejudice and discrimination and drive a wedge between different cultural groups.
A 2030 Dreams Cultural Awareness workshop will help to quench the flames of bigotry and encourage young people to open their minds and participate in joined-up thinking about cultural issues. It will also introduce students to some of the more positive and stimulating elements of cultural difference such as the opportunity to try out exotic recipes listen to new types of music and explore different fashion styles.
Cultural Awareness and the National Curriculum
Themes involving cultural awareness can be introduced to many subject areas in the National Curriculum, from Geography and History to Folklore and Ecology.
Religious Education.
In secondary schools, cultural awareness tuition maps on to the Citizenship element of the National Education Curriculum which must cover the, “diverse national, regional, religious and ethical identities in Kenya and the need for mutual respect and understanding.”
The open forum discussions facilitated in 2030 Dreams Cultural Awareness Workshops will also help to stimulate the “skills to think critically and debate political questions.”
