We facilitate cultural development in the following ways:

• Cultural Sharings

  Cultural Sharing is a means by which communities come together across cultural lines to learn from one another, to reassert their cultural traditions and meanings, and to give voice to themselves and to others, thereby establishing the sense of belonging and connection necessary for meaningful civic engagement.

• Cultural Organizers

  Cultural Organizers are people deeply rooted in the immigrant communities who organize by facilitating and implementing cultural development models and principles.

• Learning Groups

  A Learning Group is defined as a group of people who gather around a certain theme or topic to discuss issues of common concern or interest and collectively work to express those concerns. Learning Groups are essential to cultural development work as they provide groups with the opportunity to work closely and learn from one another in an effort to raise intercultural awareness and appreciation. It is important for each Learning Group to have one or two Cultural Organizers to facilitate the work of the entire group. The Cultural Organizer plays a crucial role in the development of the Learning Group and in the journey that the Learning Group will take during the Tamejavi process.
