Bridging the Divide: Local School Launches Cultural Awareness Week

Last Monday, Greenwood High School host its first-ever Cultural Awareness Week, an
initiative designed to promote solidarity and inclusion among students of diverse ethnic
backgrounds.

The event, which include interactive workshops, guest speakers, and student-led
presentations, aim to break down stereotypes and build stronger peer connections.

According to Ms. López, one of the coordinators, “We want students to learn how to
respect and understand each other’s origin, regardless of race or tradition.”

Students from the school’s minorities group prepared booths to represent their
countries of origin, sharing thoughts on customs, music, and food.

Some participants described how they had come across both shyness and hostility
when trying to express their culture.

“It’s not always easy,” said Ahmed, a senior student. “Sometimes people is just
narrow-minded, and there be a lot of suspicion toward things that are unfamiliar.”

Others noted that their peers attitudes had changed over time, especially when open
interaction and dialogue was encouraged.

Ana, a student from Mexico, shared: “At first, people don’t understood why I always
greet everyone with a hug, but now they had started to appreciate it as part of my
culture.”

Reports of verbal harassment were not uncommon before, but now the school take
steps to address microaggressions with sensitivity and education.

Despite the chilly weather, students grab the opportunity to celebrate unity in diversity.

Ms. López also mentioned how teachers and staff been participating actively, creating
opportunities for cultural exchange in the classroom.
The school plans to repeat the event annually, hoping to reduce the students divide and
continue fostering empathy, especially among those who may initially feel outsider or
isolated.

“In the end,” Ms. López concluded, “being culturally educated isn’t just about tolerance;
it’s about listening, learning, and be willing to grow together.”
