| A Multidisciplinary Approach to Cultural Awareness in Physical Education |
| CEU OPPORTUNITY: This interactive teaching and learning methodology is designed to enhance students’ understanding of cultural differences. Traditional games and sports from other cultures are used to enhance socialization skills, cross-cultural relationships, and acceptance of cultural differences. Through self-reflection, exploration and analysis, students develop cultural sensitivity and enhance their own learning and ability to communicate cross-culturally. Assessment, feedback methods, and recommendations for incorporating multicultural activities into the school curriculum from a multidisciplinary perspective, will be provided.
