World Cultures and Customs

Learning how other countries celebrate and what they eat brings distant places much closer. Once you have seen how differently people live, travel and meeting people from abroad become something to look forward to.

The pleasure of learning about them

Every part of the world has festivals, food, clothing, architecture and ways of living rooted in its own climate and history. Seeing how they differ from country to country reveals how interesting a range of values can be. Understanding the background is also the first step toward respecting a culture that is not your own.

What you will learn here

In multiple-choice form, you will learn the basics of festivals, food, dress, architecture and daily life around the world. It builds international awareness that helps with travel, conversations with people from other countries and following the news, and it ties in with schoolwork and general knowledge.

How to approach it

Starting with a country you would like to visit, or a region that interests you, makes it easy to keep going. Tying each custom to the place it comes from helps it stick. Treat it as a quiz and widen your view of the world a little at a time.
