Meeting state-mandated multicultural education can be a challenge for
smaller school districts. With Nebraska's predominantly white population,
many students have little opportunity for meaningful live interaction with
persons from different racial or cultural backgrounds. This program uses
the perspectives of artists from diverse backgrounds to offer learning
opportunities and insight into the experiences of people from other races
or cultures. Live visits, an interactive Web site and videos are used with
students in six high schools across Nebrasaka.
