Multicultural Journeys: Telling Inclusive Stories
Description
Go behind the scenes at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage to explore two new interdisciplinary projects that promote inclusive storytelling in the classroom. Smithsonian Folkways Learning Pathways is a dynamic series of digital education resources using music tracks from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings to ensure more students can see themselves reflected in K-12 curriculum materials. Discover how the “Youth and the Future of Culture” program at the 2025 Smithsonian Folklife Festival will address youth learning, with students in the DC area participating in peer-to-peer research while exploring who they are in the present, with an eye toward a shared future.
