Family Diversity

Personal Culture

To conclude this activity, you are asked to consider your cultural history.
 
Return to the genogram that you created earlier in Activity 1.1.

Make further notes or add Post-it notes to show your family’s cultural origins.

If you didn’t include immigration dates, add them now if you know them. If your family lived in other countries, you could add them.

  • Does your family celebrate any holidays different from the ones on the Canadian calendar?
  • What languages are or were spoken by members of your family?
  • Were there any interracial relationships?

Document your thoughts in your journal.
