In this project, students shared their cultures with school children, influencing young their views of the world and extending the college goal of creating international understanding. Twenty-two students took their languages, games, costumes, and power point presentations out to four schools on Vancouver Island.

I learned a lot from this project because my culture is different than the canadian culture and I enjoied a lot because it was amazing how the kids remember what you have said to them, and I had the oportunity to gave a lot too, for example when I told them that in my country we dont celebrate halloween, the said me: ¿in your country you don't celebrate halloween? or when I related them that when here, in Christmas is winter, in my country is summer and we have 40 degrees they said me ohh, cool!! they were very funny and in the last day, the kids give us an envelop full of papers with draws that they made where they tell us how the canadian people celebrate halloween... in conclusion was an incredible week and I was entertained a lot.
