Beyond Borders is a dynamic, curiosity driven cultural competency course designed to take participants on a journey across vibrant cultures from around the world. Each month, we’ll discover a new cultural landscape—exploring its traditions, values, stories, rituals, and ways of communicating that shape how people live, connect, and belong.

This month, we will be exploring Jamaica. The presentation will be led by Dr. Marva Ferguson, Associate Professor, Child Studies and Social Work; President of the Jamaican Canadian Association (JCAA), and Mr. David Pennant, Educator and Mentor. Both speakers will provide rich insight and information about Jamaica from the perception of “song and dance” to the contribution and influence of the Caribbean island around the world.
