New Cultural Encounters
Through a simulation game, students will experience what it is like to confront and deal with a culture highly different from their own. Chamizal National Memorial was built to commemorate a peaceful treaty between two nations with different languages, and cultural backgrounds. The two countries found common ground through diplomacy, goodwill, and cooperation.
