YES Alumna from Gwadar conducted a two-day workshop at
YES-Alumna’s English Language center, Gatti Dohr Gwadar on 2nd and 3rd
of March 2014 by iEARN Pakistan (International Education and Resource Network),
SIE (Society for International Education) and YES Alumna. Through the workshop,
20 students got the opportunity to learn about our cultural heritage, history,
traditions and customs along with celebrating the culture day.
Students of the Language center were very
excited about attending the workshop because of two reasons. First reason was
their interest in the topics of the workshop and second reason was that it was
the first workshop they had ever attended!
The students got an opportunity to learn through presentations.
On the first day of the
workshop 2nd March, they got to
learn about cultural diversity and the importance of tolerance. YES Alumna used
the occasion to share her cross cultural experiences. Along with signifying our
own culture, students were taught to appreciate other existing cultures around
the globe. The students seemed very interested through out the workshop.
Most the students belong to
underprivileged schools where they don’t get the opportunity to be a part of
any celebrations, so on the second day of the workshop, the students got the
chance to celebrate, explore, present, and enjoy their time. They enhanced
presentational skills by presenting their art work about culture and different
landscapes of the country. A group of other children and women from the
neighborhood were invited to visit the center. Students’ artworks were
exhibited. The students presented poetry and they also presented the folk story
of “Hani and Sheh Mureed” as a drama. 
The students were very happy during the workshop and celebration.
They enjoyed their time as well as the women folk form the neighborhood got an
opportunity to enjoy a cultural day out and appreciate the kids’ work. This
workshop will encourage the students to appreciate other existing cultures around
the globe and promote peace, tolerance and harmony.
