Course Details

This course actively encourages students of different backgrounds to come together to share their stories of experience with each other.

One of the main goals of this course is to support belonging and inclusion, facilitating intercultural connections.

Throughout this course, students learned about their own stories and were given tools to share them with others.

Instead of learning about culture and diversity from books and the internet, students learn from each other and create relationships.

The process of creative writing and practicing mindfulness each day forms a community of learners.
A Multicultural Education Initiatives grant from MCoS partially supports spoken word artist Cat Abenstein to work with this class.

The Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan has been raising awareness of the benefits of cultural diversity and the dangers of racism since November 22, 1975. MCoS currently offers 3 types of membership. Our members include thousands of volunteers committed to promoting the benefits of multiculturalism.

MCoS also worked with 57 partners this past year on a variety of projects and events. MCoS became a provincial not-for-profit, non-governmental agency that works to ensure ethnocultural survival, strength and prominence and foster opportunities for cross-cultural interaction.

We support our members and the public with promotional campaigns and materials (including Multifaith Calendars), a monthly electronic newsletter, investment in programs that accomplish our goals, information and community connections, workshops and other learning opportunities.

We maintain an involvement with SaskCulture that has included establishing the Multicultural Initiatives Fund and serving as the Secretariat for the Multicultural Community of Interest.
