Celebration of culture held at Immigrant Learning Center
Earlier this month, the Immigrant Learning Center in Malden hosted its 15th annual International Day which celebrated the cultures of its students from around the world. No doubt flyer printing and poster printing were used to let the community know about this event so that they could learn further about what the Immigrant Learning Center has to offer its students.
According to Karen Glover, Director of Communications for the Immigrant Learning Center, the students take part in performances and prepare cultural exhibits that they can share with their family and friends. The event gives the students the opportunity to show off their homeland and those things of which they are proud from their home country.
Song and dance from Vietnam and Haiti, food from Colombia and Nepal, and Chinese dance performances and art were some of the featured events. One student, Marcel Kiyamba, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who came to America about a year and a half ago, wrote two songs about the ILC which were unveiled at the event. He attributes his ability to learn English and other skills by means of music.
The Immigrant Learning Center is an adult education center and non-profit organization that helps immigrants get acclimated to the United States by enabling them to enroll in classes in the English language and help them prepare for the citizenship test for the United States. According to Glover, being in the classroom enables language and cultural barriers to be broken down along the students.
