Series Details

About

One of SHW's greatest assets is our community's diversity, with thousands of active members having their own unique backgrounds, identities, and stories. Through this series, we'll educate each other on our own backgrounds by shining a spotlight on these stories and work together to define and analyze the importance of not just having, but effectively living, in an increasingly diverse society. Each session will explore a different facet of what makes each of us who we are — from the foods we consume to the music we listen to — through group activities, mini-show-and-tells, discussions (and maybe some debates), and a ton of storytelling. Expect to be actively involved, either in the chat or preferably with your microphone. Check out some of the sessions below, to get an idea of the structure! More sessions and topics will be added based on learner interests and suggestions! This series will be running parallel to those run by these awesome SHW tutors @Iqra A and @Ishita P. Check out their series below to find one that best suits your schedule! (Time zone converter for reference: https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter.) Iqra's (9:00 PM UTC): https://schoolhouse.world/series/1838 Ishita's (3 PM UTC): https://schoolhouse.world/series/1854?celebrate See you all there!

About the Tutor

Hello everyone👋. I am a recent graduate of high school. It's always awesome to tutor students around the globe, so I'm here on SHW to share my knowledge and help curious learners to learn and explore more with me. I also believe that- we learn more when we teach and we should have the zeal to learn. And there I go. Please do join my sessions if you find them fruitful. I'm also a mentor, on the certification team, an Auditor, an Onboarding Buddy, help schoolhouse in staying safe and consistent with policies, and a member of the India team. Hope to see you around!

Session 1

Orientation

We'll introduce ourselves and talk about our backgrounds and identities. We'll delve into talking about food: our favorite foods (let's be real, no one has just one favorite) and why we love them! Interested volunteers will even have the opportunity to have a live cooking show on Zoom to show off their cooking skills. We'll then talk about the importance of food and how it's shaped by region and location. We'll then end with a small game!

Session 2

Other Topics

Fashion show time! Prepare to sashay down virtual ramps and catwalks in a fabulous outfit, representing what YOU stand for (Schoolhouse-appropriate, of course)! We'll talk about and showcase some of our favorite pieces of clothing and outfits and their significance — feel free to dress up and go all out for the (Zoom) camera, or just show a sketch or photo if you'd prefer. We'll then discuss the pivotal role of fashion in self-expression, the evolution of fashion norms over time in different parts of the world, and how we think (or want) fashion to continue evolving in the future.

Session 3

Other Topics

We've all heard about how important school and education are, whether it's from all those boring politicians on TV, our teachers, or our own families. But why are they so important? This week, we'll examine different types of educational and schooling structures and how they can vary by country, region, and even each specific school. We'll talk about our own journeys through the education system, analyze possible problems with our current systems, and consider how we can work together to improve the system for future students.
