The American Association for Russian Language, Culture and Education
(AARCE) is pleased to invite you to participate in a special event on
cross-cultural family relations and raising bilingual children.
Together with the Russian Cultural Center, AARCE will be hosting a
series of seminars and discussions on Saturday, October 29, and
Sunday, October 30, addressing various issues that typically arise in
cross-cultural family environments, including cross-cultural families
and families of first, second, third, fourth (and beyond)-generation
immigrants in America. Some of the issues that will be addressed
include cross-cultural relations among spouses and other family
members, differences in societal and cultural expectations, the
challenges and benefits of raising bilingual children, and the
positive experience of the Russian Diaspora in America in sustaining
its cultural and linguistic values.
These seminars will provide an opportunity to ask questions and
interact with linguists, cross-cultural consultants, psychologists,
teachers, and parents who raise bilingual children.
There will be seminars in Russian and in English.
