This collection of essays by scholars from Canada, England, France, India and Israel explores the intersections of identity, community and nation within Canadian culture. Multiple waves of immigration and the intermingling of histories, memories and cultures have engaged Canadians in cross-cultural exchanges that have rendered definitions of identity, increasingly complex. Modern-day mobility fosters cultural diversity and transnational identities, calling for a redefinition of subjectivity and belonging as well as challenging nationalist discourses.

This book is for anyone who has an interest in the area of leisure and especially in the process of leisure education. It aims to serve as a practical guide for anyone wishing to be involved in leisure education by initiating, developing, facilitating and implementing it in educational frameworks. It is based upon the collaborative efforts of the authors over the last decade in initiating and undertaking several large-scale projects in this area, especially in the development and implementation of leisure education curricula in the school system of the State of Israel. The book brings theory into practice through a process, which can contribute to the wise use of leisure time, thus enhancing people's well-being and quality of life.
