Pathways

-
So what pathways are there to achieving the long term goal?

1 Education: 

 - Curriculums through schools (diversity & cultures)
- Separate classes that can be done through the communities in relation to culture, language and history. Sort of like a 'Sunday school'
- Interactive

 Stakeholders

 - Local council (creating classes & talking to schools)
- Government (funding)
- Schools (provide spaces for this learning to be embedded)

2 Building curiosity/motivation/awareness:

 - Use current events to relate?
- Encourage people/audience to investigate emotional and genetic links to other cultures
- Encourage curiosity at home (parents/grandparents). Help them understand the importance of curiosity in their child's development

 Ultimate goal?

 1 Consistency through different cultures 

 - Keeping the above pathways consistent through the diverse cultures
Potential obstacles/barriers

 - People who don't care/ lack of motivation
- Lack of overall knowledge and awareness
- Passing down of incorrect history, knowledge, ideologies (therefore values may change?)
- Funding

Societies think globalization is a big threat as the young generation is sweeping away with different cultures mostly adapting the culture of western style, which unfortunately  worry  the societies as they think it will affect their culture and also won't take time is the disappearance of their cultures and values they follow." " Despite the differences in language and culture, my university always come up with initiatives that cater to all nationalities. It creates an atmosphere that accepts and respects different cultures. Skyline, being one of the best universities in UAE, prove that globalization and culture differences are not a hindrance to creating a community where people from all corners of the world can co-exist harmo...
