Testimonials

It helped me pay more attention to people who have a different culture from mine, and I expanded my empathy towards them.

The course changed my perception of the concept of multiculturalism. I thought I knew about diverse cultures, now I understood that I was wrong. I realized mainly that the fact that we come from the same country does not necessarily mean that we perceive life in the same way. We learn to live with each other and each one of us brings his diverse cultures to one country.

I learned a lot about how we see ourselves and others. I am now more open to different perspectives

The course was enjoyable and more creative than anything I have experienced

The course contributed greatly to my understanding of multiculturalism in the classroom. How important it is to me as an educator to know these concepts in order to create equity and good relationships with and between my students.

I realized that as we progressed individually in the course and accumulated joint experiences. That the stigma I had about people in society who are different from me and in the past I had no connection to them was wrong.  I realized that it is not right to look only at these externalities and we need to see what a person has “inside”. Many times those who seemed so different to me culturally are the people who have most in common with me.
