Activities:

Learning about me and my community

• Being Canadian is being willing to go and get to know each other in the different regions of this vast and beautiful country. Travel and appreciate the rest of the country.
  
  
• Learn about our heritage from one coast to another and learn about the diverse cultures within our Canadian culture.
  
  
• Explore and define how we see ourselves and how others see us: in the context of country, community, ethnocultural group, individual. Example: Canada is seen as a humanitarian, multicultural country that is willing to learn and accept many different people. How do Canadians see the country as a whole?
  
  
• How I see myself (individual) may be different from how people see me. Explore. Use the charts here to help.
  
  
• How does one community see another? Pick different communities. Examine what the media portrayal is. From what point of view is it written? How does the portrayal affect the self-image of the group, individual or community?
