Taichung Municipal Cheng Kung Elementary School organized a series of cultural learning, enabling students to have a better understanding of multiculturalism. Besides, the course provides immersive experiences through picture books, talks, practical experiences, and activities.
About 40 students’ parents are from Vietnam and therefore, Academic Affairs Division chose a picture book “Tidiem’s Present” to share Vietnamese cultures. Moreover, the school also invited Pei Thi Huong (裴氏香) – who teaches Vietnamese – to introduce the geography, food, costumes, etc., to students. She also guided students to sing Vietnamese folk songs.
Another guest invited was a nutritionist – Li Si Rong (李思蓉). She added pho to the lunch menu and hence, the school personnel and students were able to taste Vietnamese cuisine.
