Program Objectives: 1) Learn Mandarin Chinese language skills and Chinese culture; 2) Interact with peers in a diverse setting using Mandarin; 3) Enhance world language academic knowledge, as well as civic engagement skills about racial equity and social justice.

To achieve the learning objectives, our campers will examine how global issues impact local communities, exploring topics such as: China-US relationship, inequality, and identity formation. In addition, campers will share the experience through a story-book project, to use their language and culture skills to express their daily life experience, along with COVID-19 impacts.

  • Session One: Breck School Camp, Monday, June 26 to Friday, June 30, 9:30am-3pm

  • Read 3-5 social justice-themed books in Chinese language and complete follow-up tasks that relate to the literacy.
  • Experience culture-related activities such as cooking, Chinese embroidery, Chinese board-games, Calligraphy and brush painting, etc.
  • Get real-life experiences to meet different peers and adults (teachers and guests) from diverse backgrounds, and learn skills to ask and answer courageous questions related to race, identity, diversity and inclusion.
  • Gain more perspectives on other cultures and our history as a nation, and skills on how to work as a community despite our differences. Hopefully take what we learn in this enrichment program back to their own everyday lives and keep practicing those perspectives and skills.

2023 Women's Showcase Tournament


DATE/TIME: July 29-30, 2023
PLACE: St. Paul, M Nat McMurray Fields, 1155 Jessamine Ave W, St Paul, MN 55117
 
As many start to gear up for the FIFA Women’s World Cup coming this summer, we also need to recognize that we have the World’s Game being played in our own backyards. Young women from the Karen, Karenni, Nepali, East African, Hmong, African American, and Latina communities will be represented at our tournament, and most, if not all, of these athletes sit outside of the US Youth Sports System. Unfortunately the expenses for participating in youth sports, and tournaments, are oftentimes high, and cost-prohibitive for kids from lower-income families. This prevents many athletes from being noticed by college coaches and progressing onto higher education.
 
Our tournament was created to give these athletes the same opportunities as their peers. The goal is to even the playing field by providing more opportunities for young women to follow their dreams, and become role models for girls in their own communities for future generations to come.
