Multicultural Awareness: Heathcote PTA conference

April 2009. Heathcote PTA. Coordinator: Tracy Jaffe, the PTA President.

I was invited to speak to Heathcote PTA about the multicultural awareness, and decided to talk about reimagining global citizenship. This talk in many ways resembled the one I gave in the Superintendent Conference Day in March. Then main thesis is that we have to break down the stereotypes, prejudices, and other cultural barriers in developing better coalitions in solving our global issues. In addition, we need to build the capacity for empathy, and this should be used as the basis of any social interaction. This was my working philosophy in the workshop.
