If you could share one thing you’re most proud of about your home country, what would it be?
For TDSers, it might be a memorable moment in history, a language close to their hearts, a vibrant traditional outfit, a famous landmark, or even their favorite pizza. Each answer tells a different story, shared with bright eyes and a genuine sense of pride as they talk about the places and cultures they call their own.
Behind these seemingly simple answers lies a much bigger world of history, culture, and identities passed down through generations. Through conversations like these at Dewey, TDSers discover more about the diversity around them and begin to understand why people can see and experience the world in so many different ways. They learn that what sets us apart does not have to create distance; instead, it can be the starting point for a new question, a new friendship, or a more open way of thinking.
By learning to value their own identity while respecting the values and traditions that shape others, students gradually develop the skills they need to connect and thrive in a diverse world. This is how intercultural learning takes root at Dewey — through the stories, perspectives, and experiences each student brings with them every day.
