Presentation

亡灵节在西班牙语中叫 “Día de los Muertos”，是墨西哥的传统；这个国家位于美洲大陆；这一天通常在 11 月 1 日或 2 日。它在墨西哥文化中有着重要的地位，印第安土著文明相信，人死后会经历一段漫长的旅程到达“米特兰（mictlan）”，即人死后居住的世界，之后仅有一天能回到人间与活着的亲人相聚，这一天就是亡灵节。这是一个非常有意义的庆祝活动，家人们团聚在一起，唱歌，跳舞，吃墨西哥传统食物，他们用所爱的人的照片、鲜花和食物做成祭坛,纪念逝去的人。卡特里娜象征着死亡，在这些日子里，人们通常画着骷髅的脸来象征她。对墨西哥人来说，这个传统代表着他们作为一个国家的身份。

The “Day of the Dead” or the “Día de los Muertos” (in Spanish) is a tradition in Mexico; This country is located in the American continent. This special day is usually celebrated on the first or second of November. It has an important place in the Mexican culture because it connects people with their loved ones who passed away. This is a celebration of happiness where the families are gathered with singing, dancing and eating Mexican traditional food near the altars they make and decorate it with flowers and the pictures of their loved ones. This whole celebration is for the remembrance of the people they love that passed away. The Katrina represents death, during these days the people usually paint their faces to symbolize her. For Mexicans, this tradition tells who they are as a country.

IB 课程的使命宣言中提出 :“国际文凭组织的目标是培养勤学好问、知识渊博、富有爱心的年轻人，他们通过对多元文化的理解和尊重，为开创更美好、更和平的世界贡献力量。”国际文凭课程的核心理念是培养学生成为具有国际情怀/意识(International-mindedness)的人，通过跨国界议题的学习及与之相关的批判和合作等能力的应用，以形成有益于推进跨文化理解、和平共处及全球可持续发展等为人类将来服务的态度及行动。

The mission of the IB course puts forward (IBO, 2017): “The goal of the International Baccalaureate Organization is to cultivate diligent, knowledgeable, and caring young people who, through their understanding and respect for multiculturalism, contribute to a better life. Contribute to a peaceful world.” The core idea of the International Baccalaureate is to cultivate students to become international-mindedness people. Hill (2013) summarized the related definitions:

Through the study of cross-border issues and the application of related abilities such as criticism and cooperation, we can form attitudes and actions that are conducive to the promotion of cross-cultural understanding, peaceful coexistence and global sustainable development for the future of mankind.

这次活动, 使我们的学生意识到跨文化理解与语言学习密切关系，通过学习其他族群的语言可增加对其他族群的认知，并欣赏其不同于自己的生活方式，从而发展出正面的待人态度, 这正正契合了IB的教育理念。IB 高度重视学习者“国际情怀”(International Mindedness)的培养，以具备“跨文化理解”能力。“国际情怀”始终贯彻于学习者培养目标中.

This activity made our students realize that cross-cultural understanding is closely related to language learning. By learning the languages of other ethnic groups, they can increase their cognition of other ethnic groups and appreciate their different lifestyles, thereby developing a positive treatment of others. Attitude, this is exactly in line with IB's educational philosophy. IB attaches great importance to the cultivation of learners' “International Mindedness” in order to have the ability of “cross-cultural understanding”. "International sentiment" has always been implemented in the training goals of learners.
