This monograph is one of APCEIU's EIU Best Practices Series, which aims to encourage educators, scholars, and activists to implement and share local initiatives on EIU. The Series No.2 introduces a program in which Malaysian students of varied racial and ethnic backgrounds engaged in a dancing co-curricular activity to understand and embrace other cultures. Students were tasked to prepare cultural dances, while learning local history and customs. The successful program shows that racial integration can be promoted as a co-curricular activity, encouraging students to respect and overcome differences to create a harmonious community.
