This document outlines the itinerary for a two-day cultural heritage project involving students from different countries. On the first day, students will discuss what cultural heritage is and why it is important, share information about traditions in their home countries, and work in groups to find commonalities between cultures. They will then create a new cultural identity combining elements from multiple traditions. On the second day, students will rehearse and present their new identities at a market/show for evaluation, before concluding with karaoke and farewells. The goals of the project are for students to learn about other cultures, identify similarities and differences, and creatively present a blended cultural identity.
