This year, Unquowa’s fourth graders participated in a meaningful international exchange through the organization Creative Connections, blending creativity and culture while connecting students around the world. Over several months, Unquowa students worked thoughtfully to create original works of art that told the stories of their cultural backgrounds, family traditions, and personal identities. These projects were shared internationally with partner students in Latvia, who also created original artworks of their own. Through a virtual classroom call, both groups of students were able to speak with one another and ask questions about their art and cultures, giving our learners a unique opportunity to see how art can communicate across languages and borders.
