Cultural Exploration Student-Initiated Project (CESIP) 11G/21G/31G/41G or 15G/25G/35G/45G 8979
Strengthening Identity and Cultural Appreciation Through Community-Driven Projects.
Students can gain valuable educational experience by enhancing their knowledge of their own cultural origins or a cultural group that interests them through interaction with community members such as Elders and members of cultural organizations. The knowledge, skills, and attitudes obtained from such activities can increase a student’s self-esteem and maturity, strengthen cultural identity, and/or provide greater intercultural understanding and an appreciation of cultural diversity.
To obtain the credit, students provide evidence of project completion by presenting written documentation for activities in which they participate outside the school system. A student may earn a maximum of only one (1) credit over the entire Senior Years program using the CESIP credit opportunity. This credit can be at the 11G, 21G, 31G, or 41G level and can be applied to the total number of credits required for graduation.
