We have an incredible staff and teachers from around North America. You’ll get to learn from their experience, and cover a bunch of topics including:
- Your MK Identity and Experiences
- Transition and Re-entry to your Passport (home) Country
- Unpacking Canadian Life and Culture
1. MK Identity:
- MKs get to explore:
- What it means to be uniquely themselves
- How they have been shaped by their MK/TCK experience
- What are unique aspects of people who grow up between two (or more) different cultures?
- How do they answer when someone asks them where they’re from?
- How they can retain their MK-ness and personality and still find acceptance, belonging, and meaning in Canada
2. Transition and Re-entry:
- MKs unpack the process of re-entry and transition:
- Participants learn about how to process grief and loss
- These feelings and experiences are normalized and unpacked as a natural response to an international move
- Time and space are provided to help participants begin to process these feelings in healthy and helpful ways
- Participants receive teaching about mental health, self-care, and the importance of Christian community
3. Canadian Life and Culture:
- Through games, panels, trip and challenges MKs get a crash course in what it means to be Canadian. MKs learn about:
- How Canadians build and maintain relationships
- What are Canadian transit systems like to use
- Finances, jobs and employment in Canada
- Church, faith and spirituality in Canada
- Canadian food classics (i.e., Tim Horton's, poutine and beaver tails) and much more!
