ASSET session titled "Celebrating Diversity" on Saturday, September 12, 2015
Dear Member,
This month ASSET is organizing an interactive session on “Celebrating
Diversity”. The details are as follows:
Session’s
objectives:
We reside in a culturally diverse world. Culture is a dominant factor
that influences both our daily actions and the decisions we make. The
understandings of culture and diversity are often restricted to its visible
aspects like food, language, cloth and alike. The link between these visible
components of culture and the non –visible features including ideas, belief,
values and tradition is an important factor of the study.
- That session will take participants on a journey
from introduction, to understanding and celebration of diversity.
- It help participants to draw connection between
subjects taught to students and how the theme of celebrating diversity can
be infused within them, and why?
- The methodology undertaking traverses from guided
inquiry to investigation and finally concluding with reflection.
This event has been particularly designed to share the significance of
inculcating diversity in classroom learning and discuss engaging methodologies
with all the participants.
