Culture shock: From Islamic school to university - صدمة الانتقال من مدرسة إسلامية أسترالية إلى الجامعة
Listen now
Description
Abdulrahman Hammoud went to an Islamic school where he found solidarity to fast during Ramadan, celebrate Eid, and saw his friends’ mothers wearing hijabs. He did not feel different and never questioned himself for holding the Arab Muslim identity. But this world, which is ideal for some migrants, disappeared when he first set foot in university, a world where he found himself a stranger and a target for people who didn't welcome diversity. - عبدالرحمن حمود عاش معظم سنوات عمره في عالم لا تختلف ثقافته عن تلك التي يتبعها والداه في المنزل. كانت مدرسته اسلاميه واصدقائه يصومون رمضان ويحتفلون بالعيد وترتدي أمهاتهم الحجاب. لكن، تلاشى عالمه الذي قد يكون مثالي لبعض المهاجرين، عندما غادر المدرسة الاسلامية ووطأت قدماه أبواب الجامعة، ليجد نفسه متخبطا في عوالم جديدة اضطر فيها للتعايش مع عادات وتقاليد كان بعيدا عنها أشد البعد.
