As part of this trip, they will be assembling a commemorative altar at Carleton to celebrate Day of the Dead.  We are looking for volunteers to help out with two different aspects of the event.  <\/p>\n\n\n                            <\/header>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-campus-tour-23-october-2025\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">(1) Campus Tour (23 October, 2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are looking for a team of 5 modern language students to create and lead a campus tour for the visitors.  Here&#8217;s how it&#8217;ll work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mexican students and their teacher will be at Carleton on October 22-23.  On the 22nd they will put together the altar which they designed and built in Mexico.  Then, the following day (October 23), they will return to campus for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A campus tour (9:30 &#8211; 11:30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lunch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A soft launch of the altar <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where you come in! We are looking for a team of Carleton students to plan, prepare, and lead a campus tour (either in one big group or in separate smaller groups). The timing is a bit unfortunate as it will happen during Fall Break which means, fewer Carleton students will be on campus.  But if you&#8217;re around and interested, we&#8217;d love to hear from you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But wait&#8230;do I need to speak Spanish.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, don&#8217;t worry.  The visiting students are studying English and you can give the tour in English.  BUT, if you are learning Spanish and are looking for a bit of a challenge, this would be a great opportunity to try your language out with a group of native speakers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A &#8220;soft launch&#8221; of the altar will occur after lunch with the official launch scheduled for the following week when Carleton students have returned from Fall Break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-day-of-the-dead-trivia-game-30-october-2025\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">(2) Day of the Dead Trivia Game (30 October, 2025)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of the official launch, we are also looking for modern languages volunteers to create and run a Day of the Dead Trivia Event as part of the official launch event. This trivia game will be part of a schedule featuring face painting, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pan_de_muerto\">pan de muerto<\/a> tasting, games, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If either of these opportunities sound like fun to you, please get in touch using the form below.  <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are looking for volunteers to create and run (a) a campus tour for a group of Mexican high school students and (b) a trivia game for Day of the Dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":259,"featured_media":2393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-spanish"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/259"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2388"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2919,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2388\/revisions\/2919"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/llrc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
