Introduce the lesson by welcoming students and presenting the theme of global perspectives and cultural empathy. Mention that today we'll explore diverse cultures and discuss how understanding differences can foster empathy.

Highlight the importance of cultural diversity and explain how every culture has unique traditions and narratives. Encourage students to think of a culture they admire.

Use visuals and key points to present various global traditions. Ask questions to prompt students' reflections, such as 'What surprised you most about this culture?' or 'How do these traditions compare to your own?'.

Explain the interactive activity: each group will receive a cultural case study, research key practices, and then share their findings. Remind students to focus on the values and contributions of the culture.

Summarize the lesson, encouraging students to reflect on what they learned about diverse cultures and how it impacts their view of the world. Ask reflective questions and open the floor for a final discussion.
