How else can you learn about and celebrate culture in school?

“In my school we have a sign on each door listing the languages spoken by students (and staff) in that class. Not only is it useful to know but it helps students feel a sense of pride seeing their language up there”.

“We try to bring culture fully into the school. We assign a country to each form group, and they spend a week researching and making a poster about that place. We try to choose countries we have represented in our student body, and we include the UK as one of the countries. We then have assemblies where each form group presents their poster.

“Some of the groups performed dances or played music, especially ones which had a student from that country in their group. We followed that with International Evening where we invited parents into school. They brought food and people could go around the stalls, reading the posters and trying the foods”.

“We have a really high ceiling in our hall with big wooden beams going across and we use that to display our flags. We have one per country represented in school and we update it each time a student comes or leaves. It’s hard to upkeep but it’s worth it to see students feel respected and seen”.
