When Christopher Columbus and the early explorers first landed in the New World, they began a cultural exchange whose influences was felt the world over. The tradition of storytelling was not beyond this influence. Through this interactive program of storytelling and music, students will explore the similarities and differences within the converging European, African and Native cultures in the New World.
By investigating how these cultures explain the world around them, students will gain a better understanding of the significance of the period known as the Age of Exploration and recognize the similarities and differences between very different societies.
The charge for this on-demand program is $100.
