Education

Ages 14 to 16
School subjects
Diversity - Identity Family Studies/Home Economics - Family Diversity and Challenges
This film lets you address the issue of identity with students. Ask them to look into their roots. You can organize a round-table discussion so students can each share their findings. Cultural diversity among students would of course enrich the experience, but kids from different regions of Quebec can also provide interesting material.
