“Shortly before the global COVID-19 pandemic, fifteen YES alumni implemented a series of intercultural learning (ICL) workshops in four schools for approximately 200 students aged 13-15 years old. The workshops focused on teaching students about cultural identity and diversity, and their roles in social relationships. The alumni led highly interactive sessions that engaged students in exploring how culture impacts our experiences. They brought up topics such as identity and diversity into greater awareness, which helped students effectively and appropriately navigate cultural differences.” – Farrah Moussa (YES 2013-14, Egypt, hosted by AFS-USA in Gloucester, MA)
