Anyone ready to get their Holiday Spirit on? In this workshop series, Holidays Around the World, students will explore traditions, foods and music celebrated by cultures around the globe. 

In addition to holidays we are all familiar, such as Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa; put on your explorer hat and uncover some of the more unusual and amusing Holiday traditions of other cultures:
  • Krampus in Germany, Austria and Hungary
  • Night of the Radishes in Mexico
  • The Yule Cat in Iceland 
  • And more!
Learn about other cultures through activities like trivia and virtual field trips. Students will also share some of their own traditions, stories and cookie recipes. 
​
This is a “hybrid workshop” - 3 all-virtual meetings with our 4th evening culminating in a surprise outdoor “socially distanced” outdoor meetup.
