Theme: Global Colony   

Humanities Week at WMSKLP carries a global colony theme which aims to encompass 4 journeys. Through role play, global review, where sports meet the culture and fashion day, the event seeks to inspire secondary school students to explore the world of diverse culture and its potential for education and addressing global challenges.  

Objectives: 

• Focus on the interconnectedness of the world and how the humanities help us understand and address global challenges to cultural exchange. 
• Experience different cultures globally through watching, reading and exploring. 
• Journey 1 – Role play: To convey the global message on humanity. Students are assigned to movies such as Paskal, Bukit Kepong, Leftenan Adnan and Komunis di Tanah Melayu. Theme of role play is Unity and students are able to show their theme on their role play. 

• Journey 2 – Global review: Evaluate and analyse the content of the global education issue. Identify the solutions to the author’s approach and argument by articulating thoughts and analysis clearly and persuasively in the review by developing diverse viewpoints. 

• Journey 3 – Where sports meet culture: Encourages students to focus on the interconnectedness of the world through sports but also promotes teamwork, critical thinking, global awareness and cultural appreciation among students. Students exhibited different sports from different countries by researching and showcasing the artefacts. Indonesia, India, China, Japan, South Korea. 

• Journey 4 – Fashion day: To provide a platform to showcase Malaysian and other cultures through their fashion design. Students innovatively explored and developed a desired fashion with purpose and uniqueness. Fashion Day raised awareness and education about the significance of fashion, its impact on culture and its role in self-expression and identity. They put in so much effort to sew the clothes and at the same time mix and matching different accessories to achieve the purpose.  

Humanities week has provided a rich tapestry of exploration into the diverse aspects of human expression, culture, and thought. Through literature, art and history, we’ve woven a narrative that celebrates the depth and breadth of our shared human experience. To sum up, the understanding that humanities not only shape our past but also illuminate the path to a more enlightened future is instilled among students.
