For a few years now my daughter has been spending lots of time on crafts related to geography at her school. She’s been very happy colouring in lots of different country flags or cutting out the shapes of continents, creating a complete globe out of those. She’s also participated in many culture days which are extremly common due to the International environment she’s growing up in.
I do hope that all these activities at school will spark her and her brother’s interest in foreign cultures as I’d like them to go out and travel the world a little bit when they are old enough to do so.
Why?
To get out of their comfort zone and be challenged, to form their own opinion about different ways of living and thinking, thus helping them to become more open-minded young adults.
