Introducing GALACTIC

GALACTIC inspires global engagement. In virtual and face-to face classrooms, GALACTIC courses foreground folk artists, musicians, healers, cooks, liturgical practitioners, cultural democracy activists and storytellers as teachers and as instrumental to an understanding of cultural diversity, conflict, and justice-based resolution. We work with educators to design global curricula at the intersection of art, indigenous leadership, human rights, cultural heritage policy, and conflict mediation.

Our initial partners are Navajo Technical University Dine Studies and Law Studies, The Ohio State University Living Jerusalem Project, Alamo Colleges/Palo Alto, Masai Kenya Project/Fine Arts, Ivy Tech Globalization Project, Smithsonian Folklife Festival and Roadwork: Center for Cultures in Disputed Territory.
