Hidden curriculum

The "HIDDEN CURRICULUM" is a term which is used to describe the unwritten social rules and expectations of behavior that we all seem to know, but were never taught

(Bieber, 1994).“Many Civic Concepts-what power and authority

are, how one should behave, who people are, what gender, class, and culture mean-are learned most powerfully through the hidden curricula and through the conventions and assumptions imbedded in language and culture”

Elizabeth E. Heilman

Wedding ceremonies are somewhat different in different regions of the country. Yet their basis is the same everywhere. The rites of kidnapping the bride, ransoming her ("kalym") and giving a dowry ("sep") have come down through the ages. After the groom's relatives learn of his intention to marry, they go together to the bride's home. Here a proposal takes place. Sitting around the dastarhan (oriental dining table), the parents of the young couple get acquainted with one other and with the bride and the groom, in the event that mutual contact has not been established earlier. When the parties have agreed, the groom's mother put golden earrings in the bride's ears - which means that the young couples are engaged. Then all decide the time and place of wedding ("toi"}. The bride then stays in her parents' home until she is taken to the groom's home according to a special rite. After the engagement the groom's relatives shoulder the burden of organizing and paying for the wedding ceremony.

It is a practical, functional home into which creativity and life are woven: Soul integrated into the daily life. The yurt is creation intricately intertwined with survival. It embodies the nomad’s respect for his world, the environment – and is made of all the elements in the proximity of the nomad: wood, wool, reed, water, fire, natural dyes. Simple, it is full of spiritual generosity: colors, symbols, forms, and patterns which unveil the spirit, soul and energies of the makers.
