We look at forces that define this group, including strong family ties, climate, love of music and dance, concept of time, and economic and political struggles.
This program contains simulations of everyday situations to demonstrate cultural differences first-hand to students. We show short video snips of real people in Latin America sharing their thoughts about national identity. Students can reflect upon their own surroundings and think about how people of other cultures might perceive them.
This program is available in Spanish with English translation as requested.
