Harness Intangible Cultural Heritage via Oral Traditions, Performing Arts, and Traditional Arts
Cultural heritage goes far beyond the walls of a historic fort, monument, or building; it is a lived expression passed on from generation to generation. By focusing on oral traditions, performing arts, and traditional crafts, youth can develop a greater appreciation for their own cultural heritage and cultural diversity at large. This in turn will allow youth to widen their cross-cultural understanding while strengthening their own cultural identity.

Service projects for students to help them understand how others live around the globe and in their own back yard.

There are many students around the world who don't know the true story about Africa.
