This semester, our eleventh-grade class took a trip around the world — not by plane, but through a colorful and exciting project that brought global celebrations to life right in our school.
The class was divided into groups, and each group was assigned a unique celebration from a different part of the world. From Brazil’s vibrant Carnaval to the desert vibes of Coachella, from the sparkling lights of Diwali in India to the lantern-filled skies of China’s Spring Festival, each group had the chance to dive into the culture, history, and spirit of these world-famous events.
We didn’t just read about these festivals — we became a part of them. Each group created a presentation that included music, costumes, and decorations. It was like traveling without leaving the classroom.
Each group brought something different to the table — literally and figuratively — and we all walked away with a better understanding of how people around the world celebrate life, family, music, and culture.
What made this project so exciting was how interactive and creative it was. We weren’t just learning from textbooks — we were learning from each other. It reminded us that even though we come from different places and traditions, we all love to celebrate and connect with the people around us.
In the end, this project wasn’t just about learning facts — it was about opening our eyes to the beauty of diversity, creativity, and global unity. And honestly? It was a celebration in itself.
