“Wagasa Lamp - Wagasa in Japan is the Japanese traditional umbrella. It consists of two parts. The outside shape describes the bone of the umbrella and the inside shape has a cherry blossom pattern embossed on it. You can take off the outer umbrella and enjoy a two different styles of lighting.” Today’s world is getting more and more globalized, people are migrating and it often happens that in class there is one student from another county. One of the task could be that the pupil presents the culture of his hometown, students than brainstorm and try to create an object, which would be a hybrid of both countries and cultures. In this way, children and students will broaden their perspectives about other countries and cultures. They will learn to respect other cultures and learn not to be ignorant. Like with Haywood, they could visit an ethnographic or pottery museum, learn from other countries and then try and either copy or reinterpret the object.
