As parents and educators, we play a critical role in encouraging and teaching students to find points of understanding and connection among diverse cultures. Through our At-Home Adventures through Asia series, Asia Society Texas Center aims to help parents and educators build a foundation for global learning and foster cultural empathy by sparking learner curiosity, contextualizing information, and sharing different perspectives. We invite you to join us on this adventure through the diverse cultures of Asia!
