Through the unique perspective of the presenters’ Filipino-American experiences, you will discover innovative methods for incorporating traditional Filipino music and dance into your classroom, promoting diversity, and nurturing cultural empathy. We'll explore strategies for infusing these traditions with modern twists, fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that welcomes our students to reclaim cultural heritage (regardless of their background) and build connections in the classroom and beyond. Let us unite in empowering our students to embark on a voyage of self-discovery, to embrace their roots with pride, and to craft a future enriched by the diverse tapestry of our shared human experience. Join us as we collectively shape a tomorrow where every voice is celebrated and every heritage cherished.
