Our mission is to promote and strengthen cultural diversity through awareness, understanding, and acceptance. We empower young children aged 5-10/grades K-5 to celebrate diversity and foster global citizenship.
U.S. grade schools continue to miss the opportunity to provide an enriched cultural education experience to young children.
Common core standards place emphasis on mathematics and English literacy, with no guidelines on incorporating cultural education or culturally-relevant material.
We aim to provide accessibility to a wholesome cultural educational experience to include facts about countries and their history, and specifics such as lifestyle, regional languages, foods, traditions, festivals, and customs.
Through an immersive education for children ages 5-10, or grades K-5, our goal is to work towards fostering cultural compassion, understanding and empathy as a child moves towards adolescence and into adulthood.
By collaborating with schools, K-5th grade students, children's organizations, after school programs, summer school programs, summer camps, homeschooling curriculums, and libraries, CICAU will help create greater cross-cultural understanding for the next generation of children.
