Global Connections
To promote cultural understanding, international students attending Bluffton University
share about their country and culture through individual presentations or panel presentations.
This opportunity is coordinated through Louise Matthews, the advisor for International
Connection, and is limited to occasions when international students are available
to participate.

Never Too Old for picture books
We don’t outgrow the messages shared in picture books. This session will highlight
themes and picture books that can be incorporated into curriculum and lessons for
students of all ages, not just for young children. Lessons from text books can be
enriched and presented from various perspectives using picture books from The Lion
and Lamb Peace Arts Center about history, environment, cultures, science, viewing
the world from a child's perspective, social interaction, family, peer pressure and
more. This program can be focused toward teachers and adults who work with children
and youth, as well as other adult audiences.

Got Culture?
Incorporating literature, art, music, international outfits, and other fun props,
this interactive session will present the theme of cultures from the perspective of
recognizing similarities and differences, understanding and appreciating diversity.
This session can be customized for an audience of any age.
