RESOURCES TO TRANSFORM YOUR TEACHING

“The essence of intercultural education” is the acquisition of empathy - the ability to see the world as others see it, and to allow for the possibility that others may see something we have failed to see, or may see it more accurately. The simple purpose of the exchange program...is to erode the culturally rooted mistrust that sets nations against one another. The exchange program is not a panacea but an avenue of hope..."

Senator J. William Fulbright in The Price of Empire, 1989

In Newark and in New Jersey more broadly, there are many organizations that will help you take the first steps towards making your ideas a reality.

Once you've interfaced with the resources above, connect with these local institutions to help create your 'Glocal' classroom.
