Term 4- Week 1

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING to increase knowledge and confidence to discuss subjects such as culture and difference.
• We are EXPLORING the definition of culture and the way in which individuals, groups, and institutions “have”/embody/demonstrate culture(s).
• We are EXPLORING the different characteristics and representations of culture, what can be easily seen/perceived, and what cannot. •
• We are EXPLORING the cultural influences that exist in one’s own life.

Culture shapes almost every aspect of human experience – our senses, perceptions, behavior, interpretations, what we hear, smell, taste, feel and see. It structures our social world and our social interactions. It provides us with a set of beliefs, values, and explanations that form our ‘worldview’.
