Building Bridges: Creating and Sustaining Viable Multicultural Communities. Reports, Reflections, and Related Work: A Compilation from a Convening of Grantees (Queenstown, Maryland, December 1993).
Moultrie, Lisa, Ed.; Regelbrugge, Laurie, Ed.
Hitachi grantees promote social responsibility through efforts supporting effective participation in a global society. Meeting participants explored issues in global and multicultural education and in community development. Among the contents of this compilation are pre-meeting reflections on cultural change and developing multiculturalism prepared by the facilitators Jennifer Henderson and George Thomas and essays by the rapporteur Daphne Muse conveying her immediate reactions and her later conclusions. An essay by foundation staff members gives background about the Foundation and discusses its strategy for convening its grantees at intervals to exchange ideas. Quotes from participants and facilitators are presented, and several grantees submitted articles to share: (1) "The Consortium for Teaching Asia and the Pacific in the Schools (CTAPS): A Case Study of Educational Reform in International Education" (David Grossman); (2) "Comments on Ethnicity, Culture and Cultural 'Competence'" (Jean J. Schensul); and (3) "The Proof Is in the Process: Evaluation Methods for Community Work" (Lois Vermilya, Ed.). Attachments include a list of participants and the meeting agenda. (SLD)
