    Hi, @claireburke. I am SO into the idea that learning about people who are different from yourself promotes empathy, so this was right up my alley. We all need to get out and meet different people! And your slides are gorgeous. : )

    @claireburke I adore this idea! It is so exciting to learn about other cultures and backgrounds – and it makes it way more immersive to combine art, food, and storytelling. My Spanish class in college did this, representing all of the different Spanish speaking countries, and it was so amazing and I learned so many new things.

      @inabookbind Thanks! I love that your Spanish class did this! I vividly remember my 6th grade class doing a family culture day, where each student gave a presentation about their geneology and brought a snack/food that reflected one aspect of their background (I’m a LOT Norweigan and brought Hallongrottor, which is actually Swedish, but oh well). Thanks for your comment!
