The countries and regions that will be displayed were chosen due to the results of the International Student Surveys that many of SCC's students completed earlier this month. The club wanted to present the cultures that were important to the students, not just those that were important to the club. "The results were surprising. It made it very easy to choose the countries that we are going to present", said Josh Griffin, club coordinator.
The following is just a sample of the planned events. The rest of the presentations, along with dates, times, and locations, will be posted shortly:
Café, Crêpes, et Conversation: A small French lesson followed by the film "Les Choristes". Enjoy the movie with plenty of Crepes and different varities of French coffee.
¡Un Viaje de Moto!-A Motorcycle Journey!: Embark on a cinematic journey through South America in the film "Los Diarios de Motocicleta". Ride along with Che Guevara and Alberto Granado as what they see and experience in South America changes them, and the world, forever. Then, allow you tastebuds to travel as we sample different appetizers, "botanas", from several different South American countries.
India InStanly: If you have never had the chance to try authentic Indian food, you have been letting you tastebuds down. You will wonder how can there be so many different flavors in just one dish. The MAC will prepare an authentic Indian meal right in front of you, and teach you how all that you will need to know to prepare it yourself. We will complete the meal with a delicious Chai tea!
Latino Nights: Do you like Salsa? No, not what is on the end of your tortilla chip!! Come to Stanly CC and learn some basic moves and a little behind the history of the dance. We aren't planning to send you to "Dancing With The Stars", but you will learn enough impress just about anyone.
Any of the recipes we use for the presentation will be displayed here on the MAC's blog following the session.
