It means students have the opportunity to think about their own culture, think about things of their own culture they are not familiar with, research in order to learn more, compare and contrast it with other cultures (like in the Spanish speaking countries) & present it.

There was one day in class where we watched a video of a New Year's celebration in Spain. After that, we talked about the Burmese New Year celebration and later we realized that there were other New Year's that were celebrated in Myanmar, so each student had to research about it and prepare a presentation about different New Year celebrations in Myanmar.

There are both individual differences based on beliefs, regions and other factors that comprise cultural. One needs to be respectful of those differences and be educated about what those are. It is also important to remember that there are beliefs/needs/wants that are universal, as was demonstrated recently in Myanmar as people of conflicting ideologies, beliefs and cultures came together based on common human interest. Pursuit of happiness, self determination, and peace are commonly desired, the paths to get there may very a bit. Be mindful of the differences without forgetting we are trying to arrive at the same destination.
