  • Cultures Connecting Diversity Calendar 2020-2021
    Cultures Connecting Diversity Calendar 2020-2021 Mission Statement: The purpose of this calendar is to address and support the diversity of students, staff, and families in K-12 education settings and beyond. We recognize that by increasing our understanding of diverse cultures, group experiences, traditions, values and beliefs, we can enhance our relationships with one another and hence, create culturally responsive environments where everyone feels valued and respected. How Dates Were Chosen: Due to the extensive number of cultural holidays, dates for this calendar were determined by the following four criteria: 1) Might a student or staff member be absent as a result of this day? 2) Might a student or staff member be disengaged as a result of this day (e.g., hunger or a negative association with a particular day/date such as Thanksgiving, or a day of remembrance of a tragic event)? 3) Might a student, family, or staff member not be able to participate in a school activity during or after school as a result of this day? (e.g., Many of our students do not participate in Halloween or Valentine’s Day. There are students, families, and staff who cannot participate in district/school events that are scheduled on the evening of an important religious day observed by the Jewish and Muslim communities). 4) Does the day provide an opportunity for a teachable moment regarding ethnic or cultural diversity that might not otherwise be discussed, particularly dates associated with a continued history of oppression, discrimination, or racism? Work in Progress: We ask for your patience in the event that we have missed important dates that apply to the four criteria above.

  • Ethiopian Calendar from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ethiopian calendar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Ethiopian calendar (Amharic: የኢትዮጵያ ዘመን አቆጣጠር?; yä'Ityoṗṗya zämän aḳoṭaṭär) is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and also serves as the liturgical year for Christians in Eritrea and Ethiopia belonging to the Orthodox Tewahedo Churches, Eastern Catholic Churches and Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. It is a solar calendar which in turn derives from the Egyptian Calendar, but like the Julian Calendar, it adds a leap day every four years without exception, and begins the year on August 29th or August 30th in the Julian Calendar. A gap of 7–8 years between the Ethiopian and Gregorian Calendars results from an alternate calculation in determining the date of the Annunciation. Like the Coptic calendar, the Ethiopic calendar has 12 months of 30 days plus 5 or 6 epagomenal days, which comprise a thirteenth month. The Ethiopian months begin on the same days as those of the Coptic calendar, but their names are in Ge'ez. The 6th epagomenal day is added every 4 years, without exception, on August 29 of the Julian calendar, 6 months before the corresponding Julian leap day. Thus the first day of the Ethiopian year, 1 Mäskäräm, for years between 1900 and 2099 (inclusive), is usually September 11 (Gregorian). It, however, falls on September 12 in years before the Gregorian leap year. In the Gregorian Calendar Year 2015; the Ethiopian Calendar Year 2008 began on the 12th September (rather than the 11th of September) on account of this additional epagomenal day occurring every 4 years. Contents 1 New Year's Day 2 Eras 2.1 Era of Martyrs 2.2 Anno Mundi according to Panodoros 2.3 Anno Mundi according to Anianos 3 Leap year cycle 4 Months 5 References 6 Sources 7 External links New Year's Day Enkutatash is the word for the Ethiopian New Year in Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, while it is called Ri'se Awde Amet ("Head Anniversary") in Ge'ez, the term preferred by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

  • Ethiopian New Year Statement by the Hon. Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament, Scarborough-Agincourt and Liberal Critic for Multiculturalism
    LIBERAL CRITIC FOR LE PORTE‐PAROLE LIBÉRAL EN MATIÈRE MULTICULTURALISM DE MULTICULTURALISME Ethiopian New Year Statement by the Hon. Jim Karygiannis, Member of Parliament, Scarborough-Agincourt and Liberal Critic for Multiculturalism I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to members of the Canadian Ethiopian community on the occasion of the Ethiopian New Year, known as ‘Enkutatash’. ‘Enkutatash’ occurs on ‘Meskerem 1st’ in the Ethiopian Calendar or September 11th of the Gregorian Calendar. ‘Meskerem’ is known as a month of transition from the old year to the new and is a time to express hopes and dreams for the future. The New Year is traditionally the end of the season of heavy rains when the sun appears again to create a clear, fresh environment. ‘Enkutatash’, which means “the gift of jewels”, has been celebrated since the time of the Queen of Sheba. Folklore records that, upon her return from visiting King Solomon in Jerusalem, courtiers welcomed the Queen by replenishing her treasury with “enku” or jewels. In modern times, ‘Enkutatash’ is marked by religious observances, eating special foods, singing and family gatherings. Girls go from house to house singing New Year songs for money and the boys sell pictures that they have drawn. Meanwhile, the adults discuss their hopes for the coming year. In 2012, Ethiopian New Year will be a bittersweet occasion as Ethiopians and members of the international Ethiopian Diaspora mourn the recent death of the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. As a Member of Parliament, for many years I have worked closely with the Ethiopian Diaspora in Canada on issues important to the community.

February 19 marks the beginning Mentoring Month of the year of the sheep, considered an unlucky year, for those born as sheep are said to be meek. International Creativity Month New Year’s in Thailand, known as Songkran, is celebrated over three days from April 13–15. The Thai Universal Letter Writing people take the notion of spring cleaning seriously, and they celebrate their New Year each spring with a Week festival of throwing water. Coincidentally, April is also January 8–14 the hottest month in Thailand, so thousands of people drenching each other with water in the streets provides Vocation Awareness Week the perfect means of escape from the scorching heat January 13–19 and suffocating humidity.

  • 2020 Multicultural Calendar
    2020 MULTICULTURAL CALENDAR Cultural Perspectives on Ageing CORALIE CASSADY ABORIGINAL Coralie identifies as Aboriginal, her grandmother’s ancestral connection being the ‘Jirrbal’ people of the Atherton Tablelands area. Both her maternal grandparents were sent to Palm Island where Coralie’s mother was born in 1927. Coralie was born in Innisfail, raised in Ingham and has been living in Townsville since 2000. She graduated from James Cook University with a Diploma of Communication (2001) and also holds a Diploma of Radio Broadcasting from the Batchelor Institute, North Territory (2006). Coralie Cassady has self-published two poetry books ‘Poetic Perspective’ (2001) and ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ (2007). Her poem ‘No Disgrace’ from the book ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ is now a part of the Australian curriculum, having been published in Pearson’s English 9 textbook in 2012. The same poem also appears on the well informed indigenous themed ‘Creative Spirits’ website. She writes about racism, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence, politics and family in general. Coralie’s main passion is mental health issues. She has read her mental health poems and other poems at various events and has been a regular contributor to ‘letters to the editor’ of the Townsville Bulletin on many topics during the past 15 years. Coralie added these reflections during our interview. “Although we speak English at home our traditional language from our ancestral tribe ‘Jirrbal’ is slowly being revived.
