Students – Community Partners Details




COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Cross-Over
Description:
Cross-Over, as a public forum for secondary school students, will serve as a support network in which students stuck in cultural limbo can learn to integrate both of their cultural frames of reference (traditional and mainstream) into one unified perspective, thereby keeping their individuality intact. To help students appease both sides in a healthy, constructive manner, facilitators will foster a participatory relationship with the students while assuming the responsibility of encouraging them to identify and understand cultural practices and behaviours within a dichotomy of cultures. In giving these students a voice, Cross-Over will in turn produce sustainable, long-term results – ultimately, guiding the direction of the public education system.
