ALSO Saskatoon began it's week of learning and serving at the MCC offices in Saskatoon. The morning was spent in workshops lead by Dana and Miriam. They lead us through a variety of activities that helped us explore diversity and challenged our ideas about what is 'normal'.
 |
| Students discover that what is normal for one is not normal for another. |
 |
| Laura ponders the defining moments in her life. |
 |
| Landon and Kiersten work on their personal stories. |
 |
| A simple card game showed us what happens when the rules are interpreted differently! |
We were divided into three groups for an inner city plunge for the afternoon. Group 1 explored poverty in the inner city. They visited organizations that assisted this group like the Salvation Army and the Food bank. Group 2 explored issues faced by immigrants . They visited organization like the Open Door Society. Group 3 explored the issues surrounding disabilities. They visited the Crocus Co-op (mental disabitity) and the Saskatchewan Initiatives Council (intellectual disabilities).
