School Programs

“Now more than ever, our youth need exposure to international concepts and global issues to be prepared to compete in the global marketplace and make thoughtful decisions as informed citizens in an increasingly interdependent world”

Over its long history the Council has built and maintained a portfolio of world-related programs for students and educators that excite them, enhance their global knowledge and provide multiple perspectives on globalization and social responsibility.

Through programs and offerings CCWA strive to:


  • Promote recognition, acceptance, and incorporation of multicultural content and competencies in schools and communities.
  • Increase awareness of multicultural history, the contributions of ethnic groups to American society, and the value of cultural differences.
  • Increase understanding and acceptance of interpersonal differences
  • Encourage linkages between the educational community, business community and general public by providing multicultural resources.
