Description
-
This video shares how a member of the German community in Canada maintains German heritage and gives her kids the opportunity to grow up between cultures. The interviewee, Christine moved to Canada over 20 years ago for an au pair position, and ended up spending the rest of her life there. Through a series of interviews a video was created focussing on the theme of passing on culture from generation to generation. The video shares both the mothers, and the kid’s perspective of identity, and differences between Germany and Canada. The video highlights the kid’s and mother’s commitment to their German Nationality, and the daily implementation of German culture in their lives. Christine mentions the ways in which she maintained her German culture while living abroad, and which activities she kept consistent in her kid’s lives for them to receive this culture as well.
