Two more sessions two more communities; Edson and Claresholm! Thank you to all participants and thank you to those of you who travelled long distances to come.
In these two sessions we began with the question "What gives us roots"? This simple yet complex question is an important one to ask as we position ourselves to deliver a course like Roots and Connections.
What do you think? How do our answers to this question inform our roles of language instructor, cultural bridge and community connector when delivering Roots and Connections? Below is a collection of the things we came up with in Edson and Claresholm...
What gives us roots?
Ancestry, culture, home, spirit, customs, community, experience, food, family, Canadian (Nationality), identity, friends, work/job, values, education, life work, traditions, history, language, place, geography, place, rural/city, community, family home (birth place), family, permanence, childhood experiences, heritage, culture, ethnicity, music, visual arts, food, vocation, our career “calling”, who we are is what we do (different culturally)
