From my understanding you need to provide an experience based on one of the cultures within your centre to help children gain a better understanding or some ideas of that specific culture. For example: if you had some children from the North of India you could do an experience based on Holi (celebrated on March 17th). Within this experience you can talk to the children about it, why they celebrate it etc. Cross cultural relationships just means creating a positive atmosphere and cultural understanding for everyone to be included.

Hope this helps,

Thankyou, I ended up taking a guess and I think im right, I planned an experience where children are able to discuss their cultures with one another by bringing in an item and showing it to their peers.
Thanks for your help L.A
