As we start to emerge from 2 years of the pandemic, we are starting to see the damage that has been dealt to the relationships we have with students. This 60-minute Interest Session will talk about a Cultural Project Based Learning that went well beyond its stated goal and helped rebuild the traditionally strong relationships that world language instructors have with their students, and world language students have with each other. This presentation will give examples of how projects can take on more meaning for students, and through that meaning enhance the outcome in many unexpected ways. Elements of SEL, Zen, and working together with multiple groups both on and off campus will be discussed, as well as ideas for how to take a similar project back to your school.
