Thanksgiving and Cultures – October Newsletter

Thanksgiving and Cultures – October Newsletter

October is an eventful month. The fall season manifests itself in the colourful, spooky and pumpkin-flavoured everything.  On the second Monday of the month, however, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is first and foremost an opportunity to get together and give thanks to God Almighty for all the blessings of the past year. Therefore, we’ve decided to show our thankfulness for the incredibly diverse world we live in. The wealth of cultures surrounding the tiny reality of our lives inspires nothing but gratitude from us, that we get to wake up every day to live and thrive in the complexity of it all. This newsletter explores the importance of getting in touch with other cultures. Also, read our blog post about how cultural and linguistic diversity helps us in becoming more tolerant as a global community. Curious to know more, keep scrolling! READ THIS NEWSLETTER...
