Don't miss this unique opportunity to work with professional development specialists from the Center for Cultural Understanding and Change at The Field Museum and Cultural Connections partner museums to consider the connections between understanding the value of cultural diversity and preserving the concept of democracy! Together, we will utilize an integrated approach that will combine the use of some key concepts and tools of cultural anthropology, ethnic museums and cultural centers as resources, and a social justice educational framework. These workshops have been designed to provide you with a chance to see and hear the experiences of others through their eyes and ears.
