Host a Culture Booth!

What is a Culture Booth?

 A table reserved for you!  Students and families, we welcome you to showcase what is meaningful to YOU about your heritage culture!

​

 Community-based cultural organizations are also welcome to display information about about their mission and opportunities for South Colonie families to participate in cultural programs.

​

How to prepare your culture booth:

• Create a Poster - decorate, print out pictures, maps, etc.

  • What pictures will help people learn more about your culture?

    • Places, buildings, landscapes

    • People, clothing, written language

    • Activities, celebrations, food

    • MAPS, charts/graphs showing languages/religions/ethnic groups

  • Other things to discuss/plan with group members

    • What will we display, offer and do at our booth?

    • ​Artifacts? Food/beverage?  Game? Demonstration?

    • Who is bringing in what artifacts? what food? plastic table cloth?

    • What will we say to people when they come to our booth? Who will discuss each element of our booth?

*YOU are the expert on your culture! You should be able to explain …

- what is on your poster

- what is in your food/beverage sample and how it was prepared

- why each item at your booth is special or important in your culture
