Multiculturalism in the school

A good idea to help them precisely integrate is the multicultural welcome parties, where the great wealth of diversity is revealed.

They will love knowing what children from other parts of the world eat, how they greet each other, where are their countries of origin ...

Rare is the school where there are no children from other cultures. For them it would also be important for parents to be involved in these celebrations of integration and enjoyment of diversity.
