The Center for African Studies (CAS), in collaboration with five other Title VI centers under the University Center for International Studies (UCIS), coordinated a dynamic in-school workshop program for 187 students at Environmental Charter High School. Themed “Global Perspectives: Exploring Traditions, Celebrations, and Cultural Understanding,” the event featured five interactive, concurrent sessions, each offered twice to allow students to engage with multiple cultural experiences.

The Center for African Studies led an immersive session on African languages, culture, music, and dance. Students learned greetings in various African languages, explored cultural traditions, and participated in vibrant African dance activities. The session encouraged cultural pride, active participation, and a deeper appreciation for Africa’s rich heritage.
