The Jonathan Law Multicultural Club is back for the 2021-2022 school year.

The Multicultural Club that teaches students about different cultures. Over the years, the club has invited people to speak about China, Hong Kong, Nepal, Germany, and U.S. culture. 

The club is advised by English teacher Mr. Healy and the president is senior Berat Genc. The club meets every other Monday in Room 209. Their next meeting is on November 8.

“I’m endlessly fascinated with the world, so it stimulates my curiosity,” Genc said. “Plus I think it’s probably the most diverse club so I get to learn from so many different perspectives.”

The club is looking forward to many things this year.

“I’m looking forward to working with a new group of students this year and having some cool guest speakers,” Healy said.

Club members learn about many different aspects of each culture.

“We make presentations, try new foods, get guests to come over and have nice conversations with them, go to restaurants by the end of the year, and discuss about the differences between America and other countries,” Genc said.

The club is open and eager to learn about new cultures that they haven’t already discussed.

“It’s really nice to hear about other people’s cultures and traditions that are different from my own,” sophomore club member Gemard Guery said.

The club’s community is very accepting and welcoming.

“It is a really nice community and actually the community is what makes Multicultural Club more fun,” Genc said.

COVID-19 has taken a toll on this group and their plans in the last year.

“The biggest effect COVID had is not being able to share cultural foods, but hopefully we can get back to that soon,” Healy said.
