Verdugo Hills Council Diversity Awareness Award Activity Resources These resources are provided as a way to get you started on your journey of appreciating the diversity in the world around us. We have attempted to suggest a variety of resources, but realize we have only included a sampling of the people and groups who are worth learning more about. As we receive completed journals and award applications, we may be inspired by what you have learned and add to this list. Activity 2: The All About the Holidays videos from PBS have information on many holidays to help you get started learning something new.
