Coping With Cultural Barriers When Learning Holidays and Festival Traditions
What is the problem?
Foreigners tend to face CULTURAL BARRIERS when learning the traditions of a new country.
cultural barriers
lack of culture learning platform
There are plenty of language learning platforms, translators and maps already. However, an overall "interactive holiday and festival traditions learning platform" and not an informative static website is hard to find.
culture differences
geographical barriers
transportation issues
language barriers
Why
Understanding a country's holidays traditions and studying their significances linked to other fields (ex. religion) can help:
adapt and get used to the country easier and faster
fully enjoy the experience
understand the religious/political/social situation of the country
Not knowing about holidays can cause confusion of what to do during them
Unlike languages, holiday traditions aren't taught regularly at school
Where
The location focused on this project is India, but this is a global problem as well as it must be solved to reach social sustainability
How
create a digital platform that will enable users to actually "learn" about holiday traditions based on their pace, not just read through the information.
high accessibility
personalized
user-friendly
less cultural barriers
Who
Newcomers to India between ages 10 to 20 years who want to learn about its holiday and festival traditions
Immigrants, tourists, exchange students
