Cultural clubs provide insight, opportunities at Windermere

I've had the pleasure of having been a part of a community with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences at Windermere High School as a board member of the Muslim Student Association club and a member of the Middle Eastern North African Club. These clubs are crucial to our school as they offer a welcoming environment where people from different cultures can come together and share their knowledge and experiences.

The Muslim Student Association has dedicated itself to providing an inviting environment for Muslim students and anyone else who is interested in learning more about the vibrant culture and religion of Islam. The club’s focus is on dispelling misunderstandings about Islam and carrying out educational activities such as the halaqahs we hold, in which we provide lessons on deepening your ties to Islam, discussions and workshops that we engage in that cover a range of topics regarding Islam. These include its history, beliefs and traditions, as well as lessons on how to improve your relationship with Islam.

As the club historian, my job involves assembling the calendars and capturing these events. The structure and accessibility of our community may be demonstrated by documenting the club’s activities, which will encourage other students to get involved and interact with us. 

The pictures I take serve as a reminder to us of all the special moments we have spent. 

MENA

The Middle Eastern North African Club, on the other hand, is dedicated to promoting the customs and civilizations of the Middle East and North Africa region. Our goal is to dispel prejudices and produce an atmosphere of acceptance. Through events such as cultural festivals, music and traditional food tastings, we aim to create an enriching experience for all students, regardless of their background.

CONCLUSION 

In conclusion, the Muslim Student Association Club and the Middle Eastern North African Club are essential pillars of diversity and inclusion in our school. Their missions, supported by the efforts of dedicated board members and active participants, promote cultural understanding, friendships and memories. By documenting our events, we preserve the memories and inspire others to join us in our journey toward a more inclusive school community.
