- $24,600 spent. Culture Connect is an extension of the Leadership Program. Culture Connect is a supplemental arts and culture enrichment program featuring a live-streaming traditional musician in a connected classroom or community space supporting K12 classrooms and senior communities in the United States. The artist network includes 40 traditional musicians, representing 25 distinct world cultures and countless areas of musical specialization. All artists are recognized subject matter experts in the customs and traditions found within their own cultural heritage. The majority have advanced degrees in music and are active performing artists. The Culture Connect artist network can be adapted by request to create meaningful experiences for audiences of all ages. Culture Connect integrates with existing activity calendars and classroom schedules. The program aligns with national academic standards for the arts, history, and social sciences, widely adopted frameworks for social emotional learning, and best practices for improved wellbeing in seniors. Classroom teachers, school leaders, and activities professionals customize the program to align with their classroom or community goals and actively participate in each exchange. Teach To Learn places a heavy emphasis on cultural authenticity and artistic excellence in hiring the traditional artists that make this program possible. Executive managers administer the program through a coordinated workflow between clients, staff, and in-network artists. Clients provide their budget, calendar availability, and subject preferences. Once a client calendar is confirmed, a staff member is assigned and a secondary workflow involving automated calendar reminders, video / audio playlists, lesson plans, and relevant links corresponding to the cultural subject are sent at regular intervals to clients via email and text. Assigned staff also oversee and drive audience engagement through active participation during each exchange. The audience connects remotely from their own personal devices or in a physical space with a shared screen. Culture Connect exchanges create authentic, meaningful human connections between audiences and artists from a diversity of cultural backgrounds that transposes to strengthen identity, advance economic mobility, improve academic outcomes, nurture creative and constructive thinking, and support mental health. To date, Teach To Learn has delivered more than 250 Culture Connect online exchanges to 13 schools and senior communities, impacting thousands of student and senior participants. Culture Connect exchanges create authentic, meaningful human connections between audiences and artists from a diversity of cultural backgrounds that transposes to strengthen identity, advance economic mobility, improve academic outcomes, nurture creative and constructive thinking, and support mental health.
