the Culture of Wisconsin's mexican immigrants
This course provides an appreciation of the Mexican culture by offering a personal
experience through the use of the five senses, sampling of cactus and Mexican
chocolate, field trips to experience a Mexican tienda and restaurant. Through
exposure to meaningful words in the Mexican Spanish language, informative
stories, videos, historical highlights, and active discussions, an awareness of how
the Mexican culture and history have influenced the Mexican mestizo of today
will follow. And in the process, learners will collaborate to increase their own
awareness and appreciation of culture, history, lifestyle, diversity and how they
and others think, communicate and behave within a multicultural context.
Resources and practical information will be shared. The end result interacting
with Mexican immigrants or providing services to Mexican immigrant families
will be more effective and rewarding. Participants should bring writing materials.
