About
Global Education Center is a multicultural arts center that uses the arts of diverse cultures to highlight our commonalities and promote cross-cultural understanding and respect. With a vast roster of artists representing over 30 racial/cultural/ethnic traditions, Global artists offer engaging and educational performances; both long-term and short-term residencies in world dance and/or world percussion; one-time workshops; ongoing classes; cultural museum presentations; cultural speakers; and professional development for teachers. All programming is designed to help students see the connections we share through our stories and cultural traditions, highlighting that there are many ways to express these commonalities.
