CHICO programs offer unconventional teaching methods for getting to know and understand the culture and art of other national and ethnic groups. The initiative also organizes exhibits, workshops, training sessions and theatrical performances. The website presents a wide spectrum of information, from salsa to Shakespeare. Web pages offer educational materials to teachers in two categories, Arts Education and Social Studies. The former contains documents, virtual exhibits and exercises related to museum collections, as well as interactive pictures from drama and music. The latter includes resources dedicated to the culture and history of the United States, and local histories.
