Final Reflection

When I first signed up for this seminar, I had no high expectations. I had very limited knowledge about this culture even though I have always been fascinated with it. I can gladly say that I was ecstatic to find out on day one how educational this seminar is and all the great educational benefits it provides for the educators and consequently the students.

As an educator, I like to teach culture awareness and diversity to my students. I will be able to integrate some of the resources provided into my lessons this upcoming school year. What a better way to teach culture awareness and diversity than through Art and gastronomy.

I was thrilled to learn so much about East Asia during this seminar. It was definitely a very rewarding experience to be fully emerged into this rich culture for a period of a week. It has always been intriguing to see throughout history the fascination of other cultures with Asia. It was an honor and privilege to have been able to participate in this seminar. Thank you Catherine Gao and Professor Clayton Dube for your dedication.
