Celebrating Cultural
Diversity
Collaging is a great way to celebrate and explore cultural events and diversity.
Here are some ideas of how to celebrate cultural diversity through collaging:
Do you recognize any crafts? Which festivals do you celebrate? Is there any collaging you can notice within your religion or belief?
Ramadan and Eid celebrations
Ramadan is an Islamic festival where on the 9th month of the Islamic calendar a fast begins for a whole month. The fast is broken with Eid celebrations. Explore working with collage to produce decorations that celebrate Eid.
Hanukkah celebrations
Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights. The word 'Hanukkah' means 'Dedication' in Hebrew. It celebrates a miracle that happened in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. These collages explore traditional Menorah candles and the Jerusalem star.
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is an important date on the Chinese calendar where people celebrate by getting together and taking part in dragon dances, lion dances, gift exchanging and fireworks. It ends typically with lantern festivals. Do you recognize the Chinese dragon?
