International Fair at Scarsdale High School

April 2009. Scarsdale High School. Coordinators: Tom Conrad, Jose Lamela.

It was a different day in Scarsdale High School. Students dressed up according to their cultural heritage. There were beautiful performances in the auditorium, various workshops, and food fair. It was a delight! I was in charge of the food stand and also gave a workshop on Indonesian movies. 


I used an award-winning teenage high school movie that was very popular in Indonesia in 2002-2003. The movie was "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta" (What's up with Cinta/Love?). Students were quite interested in the movie that they were disappointed for not being able to see the entire movie. We only had 30 minutes and they were curious to know about how the movie ended. Through our brief discussions, it seemed that students were able to draw some similar patterns between the characters they saw in the movie with their own life.
