“Raising the Urhobo Child in Diaspora”
Every year, Urhobo Progress Union, America, holds a convention on the Labor Day Weekend. This year, 2024, it will be from Friday August 30th to Monday, September 2nd, at the Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Parkway Orlando, FL and the theme is: “Raising the Urhobo Child in Diaspora”. In a world marked by rapid change, cultural diversity, and the influence of social media, the task of raising Urhobo children in the American diaspora has never been more complex. The collision of traditions, generations, and the blend of past, present, and future may lead to challenges and conflicts. Today’s dynamic and multicultural world presents unique challenges and opportunities. The convention’s theme, ‘Raising the Urhobo Child in Diaspora,’ centers on addressing the evolving landscape of parenting in a culturally diverse society. As social media and increasing socio-cultural changes redefine childhood experiences, the convention aims to explore the intricacies, challenges, and strategies required to successfully nurture Urhobo children within the American socio-cultural context. This convention will also serve as a platform to address these challenges, explore opportunities, and develop strategies for successfully raising Urhobo children within the American cultural landscape as they navigate the delicate balance between their heritage and the society they call home.”
