Holidays as a bridge into culture

Holidays as a bridge into culture with Cécile Lainé.

Holidays offer more than just celebration—they're rich entry points into the values, traditions, and lived experiences of diverse communities. In this session, we explore how honoring cultural and religious holidays can create powerful mirrors for students' identities and open windows and sliding glass doors into other cultures. Discover creative, meaningful ways to bring these moments to life in the target language while fostering connection, inclusion, and deeper cultural understanding.
