In fact, multicultural education is a more recent field of study aiming to create equal educational opportunities for students from diverse ethnic, social-class, and cultural and racial groups. The goal is to help all students acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are needed to function effectively in a pluralistic democratic society.
All people have the right to learn and communicate with people from diverse groups around the globe in order to create a moral community that works for worldwide peace and the common good of everyone. Multicultural education draws content, concepts and theories from specialized fields including history, ethnic and women studies, as well as from social and behavioral sciences. Multicultural education applies content from these fields and disciplines to challenge curriculum development in educational.
I am very encouraged to see these kinds of trends in education today. My website http://www.roccobasile.net/ has been focused on trends in education and my charities over the last year, and I am seeing tremendous results from my charities including Children of the City.
As evidenced in December during the Christmas holidays, 600 children and 100 adults were invited to the headquarters of Children of the City located in Brooklyn, New York, where hundreds of toys and gifts were distributed to needy kids. Dozens of volunteers wrapped the donations of toys that were received, then distributed them to neediest children from all walks of life.
The non-profit's educational programs have helped thousands of at-risk inner-city children and youth with hope, and resources to positively affect their lives via after school programs, and by
connecting them and their families to resources. The goal is to educate and empower them to break the negative and destructive cycles they’ve grown up.The result is multicultural community where people have learned to take responsibility to bring lasting change to themselves and their environment.
