Your Impact: Gathering Around the Table
|
In cultures around the world, the act of gathering around a table to share a meal is deeply ingrained and cherished. It's not just about satisfying hunger; it's a ritual that binds families, friends and communities together. And at SYA, the simple act of sharing a meal transcends mere sustenance; it plays a fundamental role in deeper cultural immersion and learning opportunities for our students.
Food is a cornerstone of cultural identity, serving as a tangible expression of a community's history, values and traditions. From recipes passed down through generations of host families to our students preparing a special Thanksgiving dinner for their host families, each meal is a repository of collective memories being shared across cultures.
