Roberta G. Doering - Cultural Heritage Project
Projects will be showcased on the evening of March 24th!
Cultural Heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. People identify what is important to them, they decide what is important to be passed over to future generations. These include practices and traditions that reinforce the sense of belonging.
Bringing cultural heritage into the classroom has many benefits:
enhances performance in interdisciplinary learning, team participation, and presentation skills.
involves students with their families, neighborhoods, and the community around them, and increases civic awareness.
builds self-esteem and pride in self, community, and cultural heritage.
provides an opportunity for students to contribute to their community in meaningful ways.
fosters awareness and tolerance of cultural diversity.
encourages the interpretation, synthesis, and evaluation of various kinds of cultural information.
develops technological expertise and skills with documentary equipment.
promotes school-community partnerships.
offers learning opportunities that value each student's life and experiences.
At Roberta G. Doering School, we want to learn about your Cultural Heritage!
