| Carman's Cultural Display |
Carman Collegiate welcomed over 300 students from Elm Creek, Miami, St. Pauls, and St. Laurent Schools along with our Carman Collegiate students on Thursday, May 28. All grade 9 to 11 students in the division gathered for this workshop titled "Otherness" to discuss cultural awareness. The morning and afternoon sessions had keynote speaker Kevin Lamoureux, a professor at the University of Winnipeg, explain what culture, otherness, and how these concepts shape who we are. At lunch, the students received lunch and then circulated the school looking at the cultural presentation displays each of the schools brought. The afternoon then introduced students how to understand otherness, and to be accepting of differences. The next step that the division wishes to pursue involves students interested in becoming part of a divisional student team on cultural awareness. Surveys the students will complete this upcoming week will give them the opportunity to express their interest.
