Would you be interested in representing a country, its culture and language(s) at a fair?
St. Andrew’s Priory’s World Language & Social Science departments were inspired in reviving a successful past event, called the Saint Andrew’s Schools World Culture and Language Fair, as a starting point for our Peace project. The 17 UN sustainable development goals are weaved in the event.
We do not specifically ask our volunteers to build their presentation around the UN goals. However, if a volunteer would like to bring an activity related to the UN goals, it would be wonderful!
The goals of the fair are:
- To expose our students to cultures and languages that they are usually NOT expose to in our schools and in their community
- To increase knowledge, curiosity and empathy
- Work toward a more understanding, flexible and peaceful world
Here are some of the Languages and Cultures previously represented:
Russian, Tuvan, Italian, Hawaiian, Tagalog, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, Tajiki, Finnish, Hindi, Japanese, Thai, Lao, Uzbek, Danish, Mandarin, German, Azeri, Farsi, etc.
This fun and popular event will take place on:
St. Andrew’s Priory campus
Friday, October 19, 2018
8:00 to 11:15 AM
Details regarding the format of the fair, parking, schedule, useful tips for presentations, registration, etc. are available here.
