About Me
I am an online adult educator who is also excited to learn and understand other cultures because it is a way of educating myself in different aspects of life; a reason that I welcome voluntary works and take a part in public events to enjoy, learn, and support the cultural diversity. Festivals and cultural celebrations bring happiness, hopes, motivations, and movements in society. Gladly, Canada give us a chance of living in a multicultural society and obtain a broader view about nations.

What is the culture? Schaefer (2009) expressed that culture shapes our identity and behavior. In a society, shared language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects are passed on to the generations named culture (as cited in Dr. Belfield, 2012) that including demographic conditions create nations and that above all it establish traditions and histories of the humanity. This is a context that shapes inclusiveness and diversity in adult education.
Rich cultures and traditions of all countries in Canada; First Nations, Caucasians, Latin Americans, Africans, East and Center Asians, and Middle Eastern help us to see the values of diversities; discrimination and racialize should never prevent us from learning from each other.

The opportunities of adult education in a variety forms assist the learners to keep up and develop their knowledge in current global and technological worlds.
I know myself as an adult learner and educator in formal and informal education and glad to learn from others while sharing my knowledge.
