This document discusses the use of drama in the curriculum at Daugavpils Secondary School No. 3 in Latvia. It aims to develop students' critical thinking and understanding of cultural differences. Drama is analyzed through interpreting conflicts in literary works, character analysis, and role playing. Students also create comic strips, films, and record voices based on stories. The school holds various drama competitions and festivals where students perform dances and plays for audiences and judges. It also has an after-school theatre studio open to all grades. The new curriculum will further incorporate drama to help students develop presentation skills and cultural identity while experiencing different artistic forms of expression.

Italian Christmas celebrations blend Christian traditions with pre-existing pagan winter solstice traditions, as the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia coincided with Christmas.

Easter in Italy has many religious rituals and traditions, including solemn processions before Easter where statues of Jesus and Mary are paraded through cities and displayed in squares, often accompanied by participants in traditional ancient costumes and with olive branches.

Italian cuisine has evolved over centuries through various influences including neighboring regions, conquerors, and political changes. It was further shaped by the discovery of the New World, which introduced ingredients like potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and maize that are now central to Italian cuisine.

Traditional Italian weddings involve the bride and groom having separate meals the night before the wedding, with the groom presenting the bride her bridal bouquet, a gift from his family, upon her arrival at the ceremony venue. After the ceremony, guests throw rice over the bride and groom as confetti, and each guest receives a Bomboniere of sugared almonds wrapped in lace to symbolize health, wealth, fertility, happiness and long life.
