Diversity & Cultural Connections

Through Diversity and Cultural Connections, students will have opportunities to connect with, learn from, communicate with, and gain an appreciation of others that extends beyond the classroom walls.   

Each month there will be 1-2 video conference connections with presentations on cultural awareness, history, traditions, and experiences from individuals and organizations.  Schools can sign up to participate as interactive sites, view only sites, or to receive the recording to use later.

By celebrating diversity and culture, we hope these connections help in planting seeds of understanding, belonging and harmony in our connected world as students not only see themselves represented in their schools but see the representation of and get to know a little about those who differ as well.  

Through the use of modern videoconferencing technology we aim to create inclusive,  globally connected citizens one connection at a time.
