Cross-Cultural Communication
The mission of ECHO—Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations—is to increase understanding of and respect for the values, perspectives, traditions, and forms of creativity, expression, and communication among the peoples of the United States so that all may thrive in an increasingly diverse society. To achieve this mission, ECHO’s partners have delivered innovative, culturally based educational programs, cultural exchanges, internships, apprenticeships, and other activities that have served as national models. Teachers can explore the ECHO website for useful resources, teaching ideas, and information centered around nine themes: Cross-cultural Communication; Culture & Change; Dance, Music & Celebration; Environment, Food and Foodways; Indigenous Americans; Leaders & Leadership; Stories & Storytelling; and Trade, Travel & Transportation.
