Culture and Diversity Activities Activities provide students an opportunity to experience new things and to express their feelings. In fact, personal expression is an essential component of multicultural education. With the incorporation of multicultural activities into the classroom, educators are better able to facilitate discussions about multicultural topics. Activities add variety to the teaching methods used in the classroom. Using activities can also help educators reach students who may benefit from a more hands-on or practical learning experience. Activities also allow students to become actively involved in the learning process. Activities encourage students to critically think about and analyze information themselves, rather than being passive recipients. Consider teaching techniques that increase the success and effectiveness of the activity.
