Hispanic Heritage Month

Decent Essays
Hello ladies,

Coopera met this afternoon to begin the planning of our Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) events. Last year, we organized a Hispanic art exhibit and we brought a taco truck onsite. We would like to do something different this year and will most likely need your help. Keep in mind we want to have at least one event each week during HHM. We thought of the following ideas:

Newsletter and Home base landing page:
• Create a landing page where we can have documentary and movie suggestions, Latino festivals information, and Hispanic-serving organizations where they can do their VTOs.
• Announce the events on the AMC newsletter
• Message from Pat

Food!
• Onsite Midnight Tacos, September 7th from 11:30AM-1:30PM (already in progress

    The Chicano Park day was eventful because of the community getting together to celebrate the culture and park. It was impressive to see the amount of people that attended the event and how diverse, especially because of the community it is located in I expected it to be particularly the neighbors. In association to the news and the elections, it is important to see the amount of support that the Mexican culture is receiving and together they can withstand anything.

This is my first time down there for this event, it was impressive because I would have never thought that due to the amount of people…

    It’s not typical for a teenager like myself to be caught watching a symphony. Due to this well-known stereotype, I was skeptical when I attended the Symphony of the Americas concert in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. However, much to my surprise I was entranced by the alluring symphony and atmosphere. The performance, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, paid tribute to both Italian and Hispanic composers by featuring music by Gioachino Rossini, Arturo Marquez, Gaetano Donizetti, and the legendary Ernesto Lecuona.…

Sometimes it can be hard to work with or surround yourself with people when your cultures are not the same, therefore getting to better know the values and customs of a Hispanic will help me to make sure my clients get the most from me Knowing more about the people that I am dealing with is the best way to ensure a good client to counselor relationship. The Hispanic culture is one of the fastest growing cultural groups in the United States.

    As a group, we would create activities that would spread the Hispanic culture. We would accomplish this by volunteering in elementary schools that host carnivals that celebrate the Hispanic culture. This is important for children because as they grow up they start forgetting their family's background; however, these activities ensure that the children are being actively involved in their traditions. One of the activities was to have children participate and also watch folkloric dances. This also provides children with the opportunity to be part of fun activities in a safe manner.…
