Speak Your Piece - Conversations That Matter!

Details

Speak Your Piece offers all students an open opportunity to come together and celebrate diversity and inclusion through conversations that matter.

In terms of culture and faith/spirituality, as we explore together what makes us unique, we also discover what we have in common. For example:

• Food & Drink can fill our bodies with energy and nutrients
• Friends & Family can fill our hearts with love and joy
• Faith & Spirituality can fill our spirits with hope

Therefore, in our next Speak Your Piece sessions, we will be asking open questions about:

• What we like to eat with friends and family
• Who we like to spend quality time with
• What we celebrate culturally
• What we value spiritually

In the coming sessions, we have prepared these open questions while highlighting some cultural and spiritual celebrations in the calendar:

• Nov 22, 2023: Diwali - Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism (Nov 12, 2023).
• Jan 22, 2024: Lunar New Year - Buddhism (Feb 10, 2024).
• Feb 27, 2024: Ramadan - Islam (March 10 - April 8, 2024)
• Mar 18, 2024: Easter - Christianity (March 18, 2024)
• Apr 08, 2024: Passover - Judaism (Apr 22-30, 2024)

These SYP sessions are prepared for dialogue and discussion between students in exploring different cultural and spiritual values that are celebrated around the world, and throughout the year.

Our last SYP on the topic of global food and culture was so much fun and energizing, and we promise to bring the same enthusiasm for each session.

• We focus on open dialogue and discussion
• We engage in thoughtful communication
• We practice public speaking skills
• We provide a safe space for all
