I enjoyed yesterday’s session tremendously – fascinating topics, presentations, people and good interaction – look forward to learn more.
I liked both the introductions – and the way your SI senior staff are visible and audible – communicate with a non-specialized audience.
Best regards from Vienna, Austria

Glad to jump today–better late than not–art teacher in Canton MA !! My question is how we can engage students who don’t have a cultural heritage? I don’t have that–my culture is great songs of the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s!! I love Celtic music, Italian operas, American Jazz, Latin rythms–ethnocentricity exists and those who have a culture are very fortunate to be able to take pride in it. I look forward to listening and learning from everyone. Thank you.

Hi Michelle: Your posting caught my eye. I am a proponent of interactive learning that facilitates rather than lectures students. I think everyone has a cultural heritage, and in the case of those who are perceived as not having one I’d change the wording to “one that has not yet been discovered.” On the second day of class my students are required to introduce each other -not themselves- to the class. They perform interviews with an outline of questions. Perhaps your students could interview others in the school; after all, everyone has a story that is rich with some notion of cultural uniqueness. The point I make here is that the discovery of one’s cultural heritage comes from within. Finding a catalyst that will spark an individual’s epiphany moment is key. Have your students study the art of various cultures and traditions and it might spark the question “who am I?”
