Event

Cultures Alive! Multicultural Education for Children

Sunday, October 21st, 2001, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Michele Milner

Michele Milner will show how folk stories and folkdances can be used to teach multicultural concepts. Engaging folk stories allow children to view the world through the eyes of a new culture. Hands-on activities include cooperative methods of re-telling and dramatizing the stories. Folkdances, the dance of the common people, provide a kinesthetic learning experience about culture and communicate emotions through rhythm and movement. Creative movement activities then allow the students to reinterpret and internalize language concepts.
