These words spoken by Lester B. Pearson, former prime minister of Canada, ring true in the ears of every UWC student. We leave our homes, cities, countries behind us, with nothing but our identity and will to discover. We arrive in a place without borders, where everyone has a history to be shared. The only borders are the ones we create. North America, the home of Pearson College, is a continent build on the immigration of people.
Every person has a diverse background and heritage that originated in other countries of the world.
Still struggling for acceptance, the immigrants of today incorporate their culture into that of North America's a collage of the world. Tonight, we look first at the skit Seeking the Stars which voices the struggle and justice of the different classes and ethnicities in the United States. It is followed by Celtic Dance , originally from the depths of European culture but adapted by a Canadian student.
