  1. Celebrations is certainly a topic that cannot be missed if teachers want to provide cultural content to the lessons.In a globalized world, holidays and celebrations represent the cornerstone of cultural identity.Through those special events we all can learn fom each other and try to be more tolerant and respectful.
