- Education
Knowing where we come from certainly connects us with our own identities. Because we all carry the history of our ancestors after all, whether we know about it or not. Our origins define who we are.
In this episode, we look at what it is to grow up in the USA with the feeling of being "different". But... What does it mean to be different in the Unites States of America? Is there such a thing as AN American identity? We discuss the impact xenophobia, racism and politics may have on a child and a teenager and, especially, how we can embrace diversity; within ourselves and around us.
When we understand that each person is unique, human beings then are considered as social wealth. We may become more curious about the people we meet, because we know that they may contribute to our world. That is the experience of living at a UWC. We are all different, and that's just how we like it.
We shared about the work of Mumilaaq Qaqqaq in this episode, whom you can follow on Instagram @mumilaaq. She is a former federal deputy from Nunavut who exposes the realities of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and fights for the respect of their rights.
Here is an article that talks about the project Elodia is engaging in, a collaboration of One Phuket, Sutai Muay Thai and 5-Star Marine: https://www.thephuketnews.com/one-phuket-efforts-to-help-covid-afflicted-continue-to-break-barriers-79344.php.
